About Solikem 10mg Tablet

Solikem 10mg Tablet belongs to the group of medications called ‘urinary antagonists' or 'antispasmodics' primarily used in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Overactive bladder is a condition in which the urinary bladder muscles constrict uncontrollably, thereby causing an urgent need to urinate, frequent urination, and inability to control urination. Besides this, Solikem 10mg Tablet is also used for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (a bladder control condition caused by neurological problems) in children 2 years and above.

Solikem 10mg Tablet contains ‘Solifenacin’ that relaxes the urinary bladder muscles which in turn decreases the activity of the overactive bladder. In an overactive bladder, muscle contractions occur before the full expansion of the bladder causing the patient to have frequent urges to urinate. Solikem 10mg Tablet 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.

Take Solikem 10mg Tablet as prescribed by the doctor. Common side-effects of Solikem 10mg Tablet are dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, nausea, dyspepsia (indigestion), abdominal pain, burping or belching, heartburn, and stomach upset.

Before taking Solikem 10mg Tablet , inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, bladder blockage, myasthenia gravis (a muscle disease), stomach or bowel problems (including constipation), glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye causing loss of vision), or a history of heart rhythm problems (including QT prolongation).
