Question 1

Accepted Answer

You can buy Vesicare online through Mail my Meds by completing a brief consultation. Once reviewed and approved by a registered UK prescriber, your prescription is dispensed and shipped directly in discreet packaging.

Question 2

What is Vesicare used for?

Accepted Answer

Vesicare is a prescription antimuscarinic medicine used to treat the symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB). It helps manage the sudden, uncontrollable need to urinate, frequent toilet trips, and accidental leakage.

Question 3

What is the active ingredient in Vesicare?

Accepted Answer

The active ingredient is solifenacin succinate, which belongs to a group of medicines known as anticholinergics or antimuscarinics.

Question 4

How does Vesicare work for an overactive bladder?

Accepted Answer

Vesicare works by blocking specific receptors in the bladder wall that cause the muscles to contract involuntarily. By relaxing these muscles, the bladder can hold a larger volume of urine, reducing the constant urge to go.

Question 5

How should I take Vesicare?

Accepted Answer

Swallow one tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablet. For the medication to be most effective, try to take it consistently at the same time every day.

Question 6

What is the standard dosage for Vesicare?

Accepted Answer

The standard starting dosage is 5mg taken once daily. A prescriber may increase this to 10mg if the lower dose does not sufficiently manage your overactive bladder symptoms.

Question 7

What are the side effects of Vesicare?

Accepted Answer

The most common side effect is a dry mouth. Other mild effects can include constipation, blurred vision, nausea, indigestion, and dry eyes. These often diminish as your body adapts to the medication.

Question 8

Can I drink alcohol while taking Vesicare?

Accepted Answer

There is no known direct interaction between Vesicare and alcohol. However, alcohol acts as a diuretic and can irritate the bladder, potentially worsening your urgency symptoms.

Question 9

How long does it take for Vesicare to work?

Accepted Answer

Most patients begin to notice an improvement in their bladder control within one week, but it may take up to four weeks to reach the full therapeutic effect of the medication.

Question 10

Is Vesicare available on the NHS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Vesicare is available via an NHS prescription. Mail my Meds can easily fulfil your NHS repeat prescriptions through our online portal with direct home delivery.
