Soliact 5 Tablet

Soliact 5 Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains solifenacin 5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) class and is used to treat symptoms of an overactive bladder. Soliact 5 Tablet can help reduce sudden urges to urinate, frequent urination, and urine leakage or incontinence. This pack contains tablets made by Cipla, India, and the medicine should be used only when a clinician has decided it is appropriate.

How it works: Solifenacin in Soliact 5 Tablet relaxes the bladder muscle by blocking muscarinic receptors, which helps the bladder hold urine more comfortably. Because it is an oral tablet, it is taken by mouth and works throughout the body to reduce urgency and frequent trips to the bathroom.

Soliact 5 Tablet is the lower-strength tablet in this brand line, compared with Soliact 10 Tablet. The 5 mg strength is often chosen when a doctor wants a gentler starting dose, better tolerability, or a smaller dose for people who are more sensitive to side effects such as dry mouth or constipation. Soliact 5 Tablet may be used first before considering a higher strength if symptoms are not controlled.
