Medicine Description solitract 5 mg
solitract 5 mg tablets is a medication that primarily works by selectively inhibiting M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors located in the detrusor muscle of the bladder. By blocking these receptors, solifenacin reduces involuntary contractions of the bladder, leading to an increase in bladder capacity and a decrease in the frequency of urination. This mechanism helps alleviate symptoms of overactive bladder, such as urgency and incontinence, providing significant relief to patients struggling with these conditions.
