Solifenacin is a prescription medicine designed to manage symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), a condition marked by frequent urges to urinate, sudden leaks, and an inability to hold urine. This antimuscarinic medication helps reduce bladder muscle contractions, allowing more time between urinations.
Solifenacin succinate is typically prescribed in 5mg or 10mg tablet form and taken once daily. The lower dose is often started initially, with the option to increase if additional symptom control is needed and well tolerated. The medication is especially helpful for individuals whose daily routines are affected by bathroom urgency or accidents.
It belongs to a class of drugs that relax the bladder wall, increasing bladder capacity and reducing unwanted contractions. By reducing urgency and leakage episodes, Solifenacin helps improve quality of life and independence for those living with OAB.
Patients are advised to drink fluids moderately and avoid bladder irritants such as caffeine and alcohol during treatment. Response times vary; however, consistent daily use is necessary to achieve the full therapeutic benefit.
How It Works
Solifenacin blocks specific receptors (M3 muscarinic receptors) in the bladder muscle. This inhibits involuntary contractions, improving control over urination and reducing leakage and urgency.
