Solifen (Solifenacin Succinate) 5mg Tablets – Treatment for Overactive Bladder

Overview

Solifen contains Solifenacin Succinate (5mg), a muscarinic receptor antagonist used to treat overactive bladder (OAB). Solifenacin works by relaxing the muscles of the bladder, thereby reducing urgency, frequency, and incontinence. It is commonly prescribed for patients who experience symptoms of OAB, such as frequent urination, urgent need to urinate, and uncontrolled leakage of urine.
