Solifen contains Solifenacin Succinate (10mg), a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. It works by specifically targeting and blocking the M3 muscarinic receptors in the detrusor muscle of the bladder wall. By inhibiting the action of acetylcholine, Solifen reduces the frequency of involuntary bladder contractions. This "calming" effect increases the bladder's functional capacity, delays the initial urge to urinate, and significantly reduces the episodes of "urgency" and accidental leakage.
In Nigeria, Solifen (available in brands like Vesicare or quality generics) is a premier clinical choice for the long-term management of Overactive Bladder (OAB). It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability tablets manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards and stored in cool, dry environments to maintain the chemical integrity of the 10mg dose.
Important: This is a specialized, once-daily medication. The "Whole" Rule: You must swallow the tablet whole with liquid; do not crush or chew it, as this can interfere with the controlled release of the medicine. The "Heat" Warning: Because Solifen can reduce your ability to sweat, you must be careful not to overheat during exercise or in the Nigerian sun to avoid "heat exhaustion." Do not use if you have severe gastric retention, uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, or if you are unable to pass urine (urinary retention).
Solifen 10mg Tablets are primarily used to:
Treat symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB), including extreme urgency
Reduce the frequency of Urinary Incontinence (accidental leaking)
Decrease the number of times you need to urinate during the day and night (Nocturia)
Increase the amount of urine the bladder can hold comfortably
Improve quality of life by reducing the constant "worry" of finding a restroom
Provide long-lasting, 24-hour relief with a single daily dose
Act as a more "bladder-selective" option compared to older medications like Oxybutynin
This product is suitable for:
Adults experiencing persistent urinary urgency or "urge" incontinence
Patients who have not found sufficient relief with lower (5mg) doses of Solifenacin
Individuals looking for a once-daily bladder stabilizer with a lower risk of dry mouth
Not recommended for: Children and adolescents under 18 years of age. It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with severe liver disease or those on hemodialysis. Use with extreme caution if you have a history of "QT prolongation" (a heart rhythm issue) or severe constipation. Consult our pharmacist if you are taking "CYP3A4 inhibitors" (like Ketoconazole or Ritonavir), as these can dangerously increase the levels of Solifen in your blood. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant; it should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Take exactly as prescribed; the standard dose is one (1) 10mg tablet once daily
The "Daily" Tip: Take your dose at the same time every day to maintain a steady level of medicine in your system
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; it can be taken with or without food
Consistency is Vital: It may take 4 to 8 weeks of daily use to feel the full maximum benefit of the medication
The "Dry Mouth" Tip: If you experience a dry mouth, try sipping water frequently, chewing sugar-free gum, or using a saliva substitute
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it is the next day—never take two 10mg doses in one day
Solifen is effective, but because it "relaxes" various cholinergic systems, some individuals may experience:
Dry mouth (the most common side effect)
Constipation or mild abdominal pain
Blurred vision (difficulty focusing on near objects)
Nausea or an upset stomach
Dry eyes or dry nasal passages
Rare but serious: Angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, or tongue)
Rare: Severe confusion or hallucinations (especially in elderly patients)
Rare: Inability to pass urine (urinary retention)
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience an inability to empty your bladder, severe eye pain with redness, or signs of an allergic reaction like a widespread skin rash or swelling.
Reputable pharmaceutical firms (such as Astellas for Vesicare or quality generic providers) – These manufacturers ensure the high-purity synthesis of Solifenacin for consistent and predictable bladder stabilization.

Will this help me if I leak when I cough or sneeze?
Leaking when coughing (Stress Incontinence) is usually a physical muscle issue. Solifen is designed for "Urge Incontinence," where you feel a sudden, uncontrollable need to go. Our pharmacist can help you determine which type you are experiencing.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Solifen?
Alcohol can irritate the bladder and increase the need to urinate, which may work against your medication. It can also increase dizziness or drowsiness caused by the tablets. It is best to limit alcohol intake.
How long do I need to stay on this?
Overactive bladder is often a chronic condition. Many patients stay on Solifen long-term to keep their symptoms under control. Your doctor will periodically review if you still need the 10mg dose.
Where can I purchase Solifen 10mg in Nigeria?
