Floslo 5mg Tablet (Solifenacin)

Solifenacin competitively binds to and antagonizes the activity of muscarinic receptors (M2 and M3) present in the bladder and prevents the contraction of detrusor muscle and smooth muscle. As a result, it increases the amount of urine that can be held by your bladder, decreases the activity of an overactive bladder and reduces frequent and sudden urge to urinate.

Take this medicine as directed by your physician. It can be taken with or without food. Swallow the medicine as whole with a sip of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration for you depending upon your condition.
