Hi,

Oxybutinin is a similar equally efficacious alternative drug to Vesicare 5mg .

The oxubutinin IR(immediate release) was the most cost effective drug regimes according to a recent study.

The monthly cost of the drug ranges between 22-25 US$.The annual cost would be still less than 300Us$.

I hope this info is helpful to you,
