Vesicare is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.
It is prescribed to relieve urinary urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence associated with OAB.
Vesicare may also be used to treat urinary incontinence and other bladder control problems as determined by a healthcare provider.
Dosage and administration
The usual dosage of Vesicare is 5 mg taken orally once daily.
In some cases, the dosage may be increased to 10 mg once daily, depending on the patient’s response and tolerance to the medication.
Vesicare should be taken with water and can be taken with or without food.
Swallow the tablet whole and do not crush, chew, or break it before swallowing.
If a dose of Vesicare is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered, unless it is almost time for the next dose. In that case, the missed dose should be skipped, and the regular dosing schedule resumed.
Patients should not take more than the prescribed dose of Vesicare without consulting their healthcare provider.
If there are any questions or concerns about the dosage or administration of Vesicare, patients should consult their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.

Vesicare may also lead to headache, abdominal pain, or indigestion in some patients.

Precautions
Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, especially urinary retention, glaucoma, or liver problems, before taking Vesicare.
Let your healthcare provider know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as the safety of Vesicare during pregnancy or lactation has not been established.
