Solicept 5 Tablet 15's

Solicept 5 Tablet is used in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. It contains Solifenacin, which relaxes the urinary bladder muscles, which in turn decreases the activity of the overactive bladder. It stops these sudden contractions of urinary bladder muscles, thereby enabling control over urination. Thus, it increases the amount and volume of urination that can be held by your bladder. It may cause common side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, nausea, dyspepsia (indigestion), abdominal pain, burping or belching, heartburn, and stomach upset.
