Clear Start Assessment

Vesicare Tablets are a prescription treatment used to manage symptoms of overactive bladder in adults. It helps reduce the urgency and frequency of urination and can improve quality of life for those experiencing urge incontinence and disrupted bladder function.

How It Works

Vesicare contains solifenacin succinate, a selective muscarinic receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the receptors responsible for bladder contractions, leading to a more stable bladder. This reduces involuntary muscle spasms and increases the bladder’s ability to store urine, helping to prevent leakage and frequent urination.

Why Choose Vesicare Tablets

Vesicare is clinically proven to improve bladder control with once-daily dosing. It begins working within days and reaches optimal effect after several weeks of consistent use. Its long-acting formulation provides steady control of symptoms throughout the day, enhancing patient compliance and convenience. The treatment offers a balance of efficacy and tolerability for those struggling with overactive bladder.

Important Note

Vesicare should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. It may cause drowsiness or blurred vision, which can affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Patients with liver or kidney impairment may require dose adjustments. Adequate fluid intake is important, and the medication should not be used in cases of urinary or gastrointestinal obstruction. Seek medical advice if symptoms worsen or do not improve after several weeks.
