Treatment

In case of an overdose of solifenacin succinate, the patient needs to take activated charcoal. Gastric lavage may be helpful if done within one hour of taking the drug, but vomiting should not be induced.

Side effects

Vesicar ™ can cause side effects associated with the anticholinergic effect of solifenacin, which are generally mild to moderate. Their frequency depends on the dose of the drug. The most common side effect is dry mouth, which was observed in 11% of patients who received a dose of 5 mg per day, in 22% of patients who received a dose of 10 mg per day, in 4% who received a placebo. The severity of dry mouth, as a rule, was mild, and only in rare cases led to discontinuation of treatment.
