Medicine Description vesicare 10mg
vesicare 10mg Tablets is a medication that acts as an anticholinergic agent, specifically targeting the M3 muscarinic receptors in the bladder. By inhibiting these receptors, solifenacin decreases involuntary contractions of the bladder smooth muscle, which leads to an increase in bladder capacity and a reduction in the urgency to urinate. This mechanism effectively helps in managing the symptoms of overactive bladder, such as frequent urination and incontinence, thereby enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by this condition.
