Why is oxybuin being used to treat atonic bladder?

Check me here please.

1 An 'atonic bladder' is where the detrusor muscle has been stretched and has lost it's ability to contract normally.

2 Catheterisation is commonly used to empty an atonic bladder.

3 DITROPAN oxybutynin, is an antispasmodic used to treat an overactive bladder.

If these three points are true, then why is oxybuin being used to treat an atonic bladder?

Although the bladder has lost its tone and does not contract normally, it does still spasm, which increases incontinance and discomfort. the oxybutin helps with those things

You are right it shoud not be used for an atonic bladder as the oxybutinin causes increase in bladdder sphincter tone and is used for urinary incontinence from an overactive bladder.
There is another medication that causes more squeeze on atonic bladder that is the opposite of oxybutinin
