SOLIKEM 5 10'S

About

Solikem 5 contains Solifenacin succinate, an antimuscarinic agent specifically developed for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. OAB is a chronic condition characterized by a compelling, sudden urge to urinate that is difficult to defer, often accompanied by increased urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. Solifenacin works by selectively blocking muscarinic M3 receptors, which are predominantly located on the detrusor muscle of the bladder. By inhibiting the activation of these receptors, Solifenacin reduces involuntary contractions of the bladder muscle. This action allows the bladder to relax more effectively during the filling phase, thereby increasing its capacity to store urine and reducing the frequency of urgent urination episodes. The result is improved bladder control, a decrease in the number of incontinence episodes, and a significant enhancement in the overall quality of life for individuals suffering from OAB.
