Solifenacin is a prescription medication used to treat overactive bladder in adults experiencing urinary frequency, urgency, or urge incontinence. It works by relaxing the bladder’s detrusor muscle, allowing it to hold more urine and reducing sudden, strong urges to urinate. By improving bladder control, solifenacin can help decrease bathroom visits and reduce the risk of leakage episodes.
Efficacy is often noticeable within 4 weeks of daily use, with continued improvement over time when taken as prescribed.
