Just about the drug "Vesicar": instruction

There are topics that in discussions with friends try not to affect. For example, a disease in which the bladder becomes hyperactive. In this case, episodes of urinary incontinence are possible, when a person suddenly wants to go to the toilet, but he just does not have time to run there. This is even inconvenient to discuss with close ones, and it is necessary to do something with this. A qualified doctor will evaluate your condition and prescribe the drug "Vesicare".

The instruction says that it strongly affects some cells in the bladder. These are special cells called smooth muscle. Man can not really manage them (except - yoga, but they pay dearly for their abilities). But the "Vesicar" reviews got good, because he saved many of many from embarrassing situations. And the person himself feels better when the organs of urination are under control.

How does Vesicar work? The instruction says that it binds some receptors in the cells of the bladder. Receptors are special "buttons" with which the brain directs many processes in the body. So this drug turns these buttons off, and the tonus of smooth muscle cells decreases sharply.

"Vesicare" instruction describes as a medication that lasts for a long time, that is, for about a year. Getting used to it does not arise, and therefore the dose does not increase for a long time.

In general, this drug is called solifenacin. Can I find an inexpensive drug similar to Vesicare? Its analogue is not yet sold. The doctor may recommend that you use other drugs of this class - Osibutinin or Trospium Chloride. However, the drug "Vesicare" is better because of greater selectivity, that is, its use guarantees a minimum of side effects from other organs, because treatment affects not only the bladder.

This medicine doctor, most likely, will say only once a day, which is quite convenient. The fact is that the active substance of the drug is removed from the body for a long time, so you do not have to worry about controlling the bladder 24 hours a day.

But not all fit this wonderful medicine. For example, you can not prescribe this drug for urinary retention, stasis in the stomach, closed-angle glaucoma, serious liver disease. With caution it is used in patients with anomalies on the ECG. So do not be surprised if the doctor prescribes a heart test before prescribing drugs for the urinary tract.

Often there are allergic reactions to the drug "Vesicar". The instruction instructs the doctor to thoroughly question the patient about food allergies. This can be an important factor. Therefore, even if you were allergic to eggs or corn, be sure to tell your doctor about it.
