Summary
Systemic anticholinergic drugs may add to the neuromuscular and anticholinergic effects of botulinum toxin products. This may cause excessive muscle weakness or a heightened systemic anticholinergic effect, although the clinical significance is uncertain.
What this interaction means in plain words
Incobotulinumtoxina and Oxybutynin can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens

Monitor for generalized weakness, swallowing or breathing difficulty and anticholinergic symptoms after injection; consider reducing or pausing oxybutynin if these occur.
