Solifenacin

About solifenacin

Solifenacin is prescribed to treat urinary symptoms such as urgency, frequency and incontinence. Urinary urgency occurs when you have a sudden and urgent need to pass urine. If you need to take more trips to the toilet than normal, this is called urinary frequency. If you leak urine before you go to the toilet, this is called मूत्र असंयम.

There are several different causes of these urinary symptoms, such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, problems causing your bladder muscles to contract too much or too early, or something causing an obstruction. Sometimes the cause of these symptoms is unknown.

Solifenacin works by stopping sudden bladder muscle contractions and increasing the volume of urine that your bladder can hold. This helps to control the release of urine and eases your symptoms.

Solifenacin is also available as a combination brand (Vesomni®) with a medicine called tamsulosin for urinary urgency in men with prostate gland enlargement.

Before taking solifenacin

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking solifenacin it is important that your doctor knows:

• यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या स्तनपान करा रही हैं।.

• यदि आपको हृदय की स्थिति है, जैसे असामान्य हृदय गति, आपके हृदय में रक्त वाहिकाओं की समस्याएं, या हृदय विफलता।.

• If you have any problems with the way your liver works, or any problems with the way your kidneys work.

• If you have problems with your prostate gland.

• यदि आपको निम्नलिखित स्थितियों में से कोई है: आंखों का बढ़ा हुआ दबाव (जिसे ग्लूकोमा कहा जाता है); हायटस हर्निया; एक अति सक्रिय थायरॉयड ग्रंथि; उच्च रक्तचाप; एक स्थिति जो मांसपेशियों की कमजोरी का कारण बनती है, जिसे मायस्थेनिया ग्रेविस कहा जाता है।.

• यदि आपको कोई ऐसी स्थिति है जो आपके पेट, आंत या मूत्र मार्ग में रुकावट पैदा कर सकती है।.

• यदि आपको कभी किसी दवा से एलर्जी की प्रतिक्रिया हुई है।.

• यदि आप कोई अन्य दवाएं ले रहे हैं। इसमें वे सभी दवाएं शामिल हैं जो आप बिना पर्ची के खरीद सकते हैं, साथ ही हर्बल और पूरक दवाएं भी शामिल हैं।.

How to take solifenacin?

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about solifenacin and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from taking it.

• Take the tablets exactly as your doctor tells you to. The usual dose of solifenacin is one 5 mg tablet every day, although your doctor may increase your dose to one 10 mg tablet every day if it is considered necessary.

• Try to take the tablet at the same time of day each day, as this will help you to remember to take your doses regularly. You can take solifenacin either before or after meals. Swallow the tablet whole with a drink of water - do not chew or crush it before you swallow.

• If you have been prescribed the oral liquid medicine, use the oral syringe to measure your dose accurately and follow the manufacturer's instructions closely. It is important to shake the bottle well, at least twenty times, before measuring each dose.

• If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the following day, leave out the missed dose but make sure you take the dose due on that day. Do not take two doses together to make up for a forgotten dose.

अपने उपचार से अधिकतम लाभ प्राप्त करना

• Try to keep your regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check on your progress and review your treatment. It may take up to 4-6 weeks before you feel the full benefit from these tablets.

• Drinks containing caffeine (for example, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and cola) may make your symptoms worse. This is because caffeine is a natural diuretic and will make you want to pass urine. If you drink a lot of caffeine-containing fluids, consider switching to decaffeinated alternatives.

• पानी पीने और शौचालय जाने के मामले में यथासंभव सामान्य जीवन बनाए रखने की कोशिश करें। हालांकि, रात में देर से पानी पीने का मतलब हो सकता है कि आपकी नींद शौचालय जाने की इच्छा से बाधित हो जाए, इसलिए आप शाम के समय अधिक पानी पीने से बचना चाह सकते हैं।.

• आपका डॉक्टर सुझाव दे सकता है कि आप अपने मूत्राशय के नीचे की मांसपेशियों को मजबूत करने के लिए कुछ पेल्विक फ्लोर व्यायाम करें। ये आपके लक्षणों में सुधार करने में मदद कर सकते हैं।.

• If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are suitable to take with solifenacin. This is because some medicines (particularly antihistamines) can increase the chance that you will experience unwanted effects such as a dry mouth, constipation and blurred vision.
