Solifenacin is the non-proprietary name for an antispasmodic medication predominantly used to treat symptoms of overactive bladder.

Overactive bladder is not particularly dangerous in a physical sense, but it can be incredibly disruptive to a patient's life. Common symptoms include:

• Frequent urination (more than 8 times per day)
• Urgent need to urinate
• Urinary incontinence
• Waking up more than once a night to urinate

Other factors, from fluid intake to other medical conditions, can significantly worsen symptoms. Overactive bladder can also develop on its own, typically in older women but to some extent in older men as well.

Patients buy Solifenacin to reduce the symptoms associated with overactive bladder. The medication works by relaxing the muscles surrounding the bladder, reducing contractions; relaxed bladders can hold more urine and do not produce the frequent urge to urinate. Solifenacin will not cure overactive bladder; if the underlying issues are not found and addressed, symptoms will likely return if treatment ends.

Note that while bladder spasms are very often associated with overactive bladder, they are not present in all cases. Solifenacin will provide little benefit if bladder contractions are no present.

Patients who have difficulty urinating or who have gastric retention should not buy Solifenacin. Speak with a doctor about more suitable treatments.

Improving Bladder Control

Solifenacin is available in tablets of 5 mg or 10 mg strength. They're typically taken just once per day, with or without food as desired. Tablets should not be split, crushed, or dissolved into foods or fluids.

Treatment is simple:

• Start with 5 mg once per day. This dose is sufficient for the majority of patients.
• Dosage may be increased to 10 mg per day if 5 mg fails to produce good results, provided 5 mg doses do not produce side effects.

Patients may notice some improvement with a week or two of starting treatment, but full benefit will not be seen for at least a month. Those who buy Solifenacin should give it at least one month before passing judgement, provided no serious side effects develop in the interim. If no difference is noticed after a month, alternative treatments should be considered; it's likely that bladder spasms are not causing the issue.

If the medication does provide benefit, treatment may continue for as long as needed.

Individuals advised to buy Solifenacin are usually also instructed to make certain lifestyle changes, such as:

• Not drinking before bed
• Avoiding caffeine
• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Controlling diabetes or other influencing conditions

Sometimes overactive bladder can occur following surgery or as a side effect of other medications. In the case of surgery there's little that can be done; sometimes the condition improves as healing takes place, other times it's permanent. Medications are tricky; a doctor may try a different medication, but often that's not a viable option. Doctors often advise patients to buy Solifenacin to manage this side effect for the duration of treatment. When caused by medications, overactive bladder usually resolves itself when treatment with the offending medication ends.

In addition to lifestyle changes, there are other actions patients can take to alleviate overactive bladder, and sometimes even cure it to such an extent that Solifenacin is no longer needed:

• Pelvic floor exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and sphincter. Many patients notice an improvement after six to eight weeks of regular exercises
• Bladder training involves urinating on a schedule, gradually increasing the time between urination. After several weeks of bladder training many patients are able to hold urine in for considerably longer.
• Injections of botox directly into bladder tissues can alleviate symptoms for up to 5 months at a time before an additional injection is needed. Unfortunately side effects are common, one of which is urinary retention that requires catheterization.
• Acupuncture may sound silly to some, but it has helped many patients alleviate symptoms of an overactive bladder. An acupuncturist experienced in treating overactive bladder is preferred.

Many other techniques are outlined on the internet. In utilizing a few of them, along with buying Solifenacin, odds are very good the condition will soon be under control.
