Is anyone having a problem getting it? I just got off the phone with Walmart pharmacy and they informed me their supplier no longer carries the 15mg....

I checked availability at my drug insurance on-line designated pharmacy and it appears to be available as Oxybutynin Cl Er 15 Mg Tablet. Of course, if I placed an order, the on-line pharmacy may contact me and tell me something different.

It often happens that a given pharmacy's supplier isn't supporting a certain drug. Try some other on-line pharmacies or call around to some local pharmacies to see if they can get it. If you find it readily available, then you can be sure it is a Walmart issue.

Can you cut the time released tablets in half? With some time release formulas you can't. But, if your can, ask you doctor to write a new script for 10mg. tablets and additional quantity so you can take a whole 10 mg. and cut one in half to make up your 15mg dosage.

All the best,
GJ
