Solifenacin 5mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Solifenacin 5mg is an oral antimuscarinic medicine used for overactive bladder symptoms for solifenacin treatment. It helps reduce urgency, frequent urination, and urge incontinence by relaxing overactive bladder muscle contractions. It does not treat urinary infection, blood in urine, urinary obstruction, or unexplained pelvic pain, so new or changing urinary symptoms should be assessed before use. Benefit is usually judged by urgency episodes, leakage, night-time urination, frequency, and tolerability over several weeks. Important risks include urinary retention, severe constipation, heat illness from reduced sweating, confusion in susceptible older adults, and angle-closure glaucoma symptoms. Solifenacin can also affect QT interval risk in selected patients.

How to use

Take Solifenacin 5mg as prescribed, with water and at a consistent time. Manage constipation early, avoid overheating, and report inability to urinate or severe eye pain.

How it works

Solifenacin blocks muscarinic receptors in the bladder, reducing involuntary detrusor contractions that drive urgency and urge leakage.

Common side effects

Possible effects include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, dry eyes, indigestion, nausea, dizziness, and sleepiness. Serious concerns include urinary retention, severe constipation, heat illness, confusion, eye pain from angle-closure glaucoma, QT-related rhythm issues, and allergy.
