Medicine Description vesicare 5mg
vesicare 5mg Tablets is a medication designed to manage symptoms associated with overactive bladder by selectively inhibiting the action of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors in the bladder. This inhibition leads to a reduction in involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle, effectively increasing bladder capacity and decreasing the urgency to urinate. By relaxing the bladder detrusor muscle, vesicare promotes improved control over urination, thereby alleviating symptoms such as frequent urination and urinary leakage.
