- Improves quality of sleep

How It Works
Solifenacin Succinate in Vesizen selectively blocks muscarinic receptors in the bladder detrusor muscle. This action inhibits involuntary bladder contractions, relaxes the detrusor muscle, and increases bladder capacity. The medication specifically targets the bladder with fewer effects on other organs.
Dosage
Patient Type | Starting Dose | Maximum Dose |
---|---|---|
Adults | 5mg once daily | 10mg once daily |
Elderly (>65) | 5mg once daily | 10mg once daily |
Take Vesizen with water, with or without food. Swallow tablet whole; do not crush or chew. Take at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
Duration of Action
Vesizen begins working within 3-8 hours after administration. Full therapeutic effects typically develop after 2-4 weeks of consistent use. The drug’s effects last approximately 24 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing. Maximum benefits may take up to 12 weeks of regular treatment.
Side Effects
Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. Less frequent effects include dry eyes, headache, and digestive discomfort. Rare but serious side effects include severe constipation, urinary retention, allergic reactions, and confusion. Most side effects are mild to moderate and diminish with continued use.
Warning
Do not use Vesizen if you have urinary retention, gastric retention, uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, or severe liver disease. Use with caution in patients with bladder outflow obstruction or gastrointestinal disorders. Seek immediate medical attention for severe allergic reactions, acute eye pain, or inability to urinate.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Vesizen is not recommended during pregnancy unless clearly necessary. Limited data exists on safety during pregnancy. The medication passes into breast milk and may affect nursing infants. Breastfeeding women should either discontinue breastfeeding or avoid this medication based on healthcare provider guidance.
Interaction
- May enhance anticholinergic effects of other medications
- Potential decreased effectiveness when used with CYP3A4 inducers
- Increased drug concentration with CYP3A4 inhibitors like ketoconazole
- May interact with certain antipsychotics and antidepressants
- Possible interaction with metformin and other oral diabetes medications
Precaution
Use cautiously in patients with renal or hepatic impairment, as dose adjustment may be needed. Monitor for signs of urinary retention in patients with bladder outflow obstruction. Exercise caution in hot environments as decreased sweating may increase risk of heat stroke. Avoid driving or operating machinery if experiencing blurred vision or drowsiness.
Important Information
Vesizen provides symptomatic relief but does not cure overactive bladder syndrome. Full benefits may require several weeks of treatment. Maintain adequate hydration while taking this medication, but avoid excessive fluid intake. Regular follow-up with healthcare provider is recommended to assess effectiveness and manage any side effects. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
