Vesicare – indications, dosage, price

Indications

Vesicare is an oral tablet formulation designed to treat the symptoms of an overactive bladder. It treats the problems associated with these symptoms and also increases the capacity of the bladder so that it holds more urine.

Leaflet

It contains solifenacin succinate, which is available in two doses: 5 mg and 10 mg. The tablets contain the active ingredient solifenacin succinate, which belongs to the group of antimuscarinic agents. The substance blocks the receptors responsible for muscle contraction in the bladder wall. As a result of their relaxation, the bladder acquires the ability to accumulate more urine, which reduces the need to urinate too often. In addition, the agent prevents sudden contractions of the bladder muscles, reducing the likelihood of involuntary leakage of urine.
