Why is Vesicare prescribed?

Vesicare, with the generic name Solifenacin, is prescribed to treat an overactive bladder. Overactive bladder is a condition wherein the bladder muscles contract uncontrollably.

What does it do?

Solifenacin is an antimuscarinic drug that acts by relaxing the bladder muscles. This results in the relief of symptoms like increased frequency and urgency of urination.

How should I take it?

Vesicare is currently available in 200mg, 400mg, and 550mg tablets, taken whole (not chewed or crushed), by mouth with or without food.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

Taking the dose properly at the scheduled time is needed to attain the desired effect of the drug. If you forgot to take your medicine, immediately take the next dose to make up for the missed dose. However, if it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and catch the next dose at the regular time. Never take two doses just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Vesicare?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history, and any allergic reactions to Vesicare or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.

Vesicare makes it harder for your body to cool down. Avoid heat exposure, and immediately call your doctor if you develop fever or other signs of heatstroke like dizziness, headache, or confusion.
