Oxybutynin used to treat urinary incontinence even though its an antimuscarinic

[shemer77]

How is it that all antimuscarinics are known for causing the "mad as a hatter, dry as bone, etc" side effects (urinary retention being one of them) yet oxybutynin (a antimuscarinic) is used to treat urinary retention?

Where did you find that oxybutinin is used to treat urinary retention?

Cause every source that I found has oxybutinin being used as a treatment for incontinence:
FA 2016 pgs: 245, 551
Oxy is used as a treatment for urgency incontinence, and is used as a treatment for overactive bladder

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxybutynin#Clinical_efficacy
