Regular use of the drug reduces urine incontinence and other urination problems that manifest due to an overactive bladder.

Precautions
Before you buy VESIcare, you must tell your doctor if you are allergic to Solifenacin or any other drugs. Since the possibility of this drug interacting with certain drugs cannot be completely ruled out, you must inform your doctor about all the current medications that you are presently taking.
Also inform your doctor if you suffer from any of the following conditions: gastric retention (severe blockage in the stomach/intestines), urinary retention (problems with emptying the bladder), bladder outflow obstruction or other bladder problems, liver disease, severe constipation, untreated or uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, kidney disease, myasthenia gravis, an enlarged prostate, or a medical history of Long QT syndrome.
Although patients suffering from any of the above conditions can use VESIcare, the doctor may advise dose adjustments or ask you to undergo special tests to ensure the drug’s safety. Additionally, even if there are no clear indications as to whether this drug is harmful to an unborn baby, to be on the safer side, female patients must inform their doctor if they are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. In addition, mothers who are breastfeeding must also talk to their doctor before taking this drug.
This drug can decrease sweating, so while taking this drug, you must make sure your body doesn’t get overheated or dehydrated in hot weather or during exercise. Since blurred vision is listed as one of the possible side effects of VESIcare, avoid driving or using machinery while you are on medication.
