Vesicare is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in adults, which includes symptoms of urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge urinary incontinence.
Vesicare is an antimuscarinic agent that works by blocking muscarinic (M3) receptors on the smooth muscle of the bladder detrusor wall. This reduces involuntary bladder contractions and increases bladder capacity, helping to control urinary symptoms.
Common side effects may include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and urinary retention. Patients with certain conditions such as urinary retention, uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, or severe liver/kidney impairment should not use this medication. Antimuscarinics may worsen cognitive function in elderly patients. Patients should consult their healthcare provider for personalized medical advice before using Vesicare.
