Solifen works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder. This reduces involuntary bladder muscle contractions, increases bladder capacity, and helps control symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, and leakage.
Dosage:
Adults: 5 mg once daily, may be increased to 10 mg once daily depending on tolerance.
Taken with or without food. Swallow tablet whole with water.
Side Effects:
Common: Dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention.
Less common: Drowsiness, abdominal pain, nausea.

Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, itraconazole) may increase solifenacin levels.
Caution with other anticholinergic drugs (risk of enhanced side effects).
