Vesicare is an effective medication for preventing or reducing symptoms of urinary urgency and urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is when there is pressure placed on the bladder which is stronger than the urethral sphincter. The urethral sphincter is the muscle thatโs responsible for stopping urine from seeping out of the bladder. Physical factors can cause this, such as the urethral sphincter being damaged or weakened as a result of childbirth. It could also occur indirectly following a surgical procedure, if youโre obese, or if you have a condition that affects the spasms of the muscles.
People with this condition are likely to experience unwanted urinary leakage when they laugh, sneeze, cough or experience any other kind of muscular contraction that affects the area which surrounds the urinary tract.
Urinary urgency is slightly different as this causes the muscles in the bladder to contract with excessive force. This makes you feel a sudden urge to urinate, and you may pass urine before youโre able to get to the toilet.
Incontinence and urgency can be treated in different ways. Certain training motions like Kegel exercises can help, and not drinking any liquids before going to bed or driving. Vesicare is another option, which can be taken as either a tablet or a fluid, and helps the muscles that line the bladder obstruct, causing them to tense up. This means that they donโt let unwanted urine pass.
Vesicare is an anticholinergic and contains an active ingredient known as solifenacin succinate. This reduces symptoms of incontinence and urgency by helping the muscarinic receptors contained within the muscles that line the bladder.
By doing this, theyโre able to block out the signals that make them tense up, and stop you from leaking urine. By relaxing the muscular wall lining, they cannot contract as strongly, which means theyโre unable to place pressure on the urethral sphincter. This reduces both your urge to pass urine and the frequency of urination.

The way that you should take Vesicare depends on whether youโre using the tablet or the suspension fluid. We donโt offer the oral suspension fluid right now, so check the patient information leaflet if thatโs what youโre using.
If youโre taking Vesicare as a tablet:
Normally, our clinician will prescribe you with 5mg of Vesicare a day, which is a single dose each day. But you may be prescribed a different dose depending on your health background.
If you have taken too much Vesicare or if a child has accidentally ingested it, youโll need to contact a clinician or medical professional right away. Symptoms of an overdose include:
It should be noted though that if you have taken too much and donโt have any of the above symptoms, you should still contact a clinician.
If you accidentally miss a dose of Vesicare then you should not take a double dose to make up for it. Instead, if you miss a dose, you should speak to our clinician. Sign in to your account and send them a message.
