Vesicare and Solifenacin at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Vesicare, manufactured by Astellas Pharma, is available in many countries worldwide, including Canada and Turkey.

Generic solifenacin is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Solifenacin:

Generic solifenacin contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Vesicare and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards as the brand-name product. This means it is designed to work in a similar way to Vesicare. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name solifenacin, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. If you have any questions about using generic solifenacin, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, please refer to Access to Generic Drugs in Canada | Canada.ca

Dosage:

Vesicare and solifenacin are available as 5 mg and 10 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on the individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Vesicare (solifenacin) is a prescription medication used to treat the symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB). OAB is a condition where the bladder muscles involuntarily contract, pushing urine out prematurely. This can lead to symptoms such as an urgent need to urinate, frequent urination, and incontinence (leakage of urine), and can impact daily life.

Mechanism of Action: Vesicare (solifenacin) is an anticholinergic (specifically, a muscarinic receptor antagonist). It relaxes the smooth muscles of the bladder, which helps to reduce bladder contractions and increase bladder capacity, alleviating the symptoms of an overactive bladder.

Take Vesicare exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the Highlights of Prescribing Information | Astellas. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.
