SOLINOL 5 TABLET 10 is taken orally.

SOLINOL 5 TABLET 10 contains Solifenacin (5 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Muscarinic Receptor Antagonism: Solifenacin acts as a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. This means it competes with another substance called acetylcholine that usually causes bladder muscle contractions.

• Reduces Involuntary Contractions: By blocking the action of acetylcholine on M3 muscarinic receptors present in the bladder muscle, solifenacin reduces involuntary contractions of these muscles.

• Increases Bladder Capacity: The reduced contractions lead to an increased capacity of the bladder.

• Delays Urge to Urinate: Because of its mechanism of action, solifenacin manages to delay the initial urgency to urinate.

• Decreases Urinary Urgency and Frequency: Overall, this leads to a decrease in urinary urgency and frequency.
