Solicept 5 Tablet

Solicept 5 Tablet contains solifenacin 5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called antimuscarinics, or anticholinergics, and is used to help manage overactive bladder symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and urge incontinence. Solicept 5 Tablet is a prescription tablet made by Lupin, India, and is sold in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Solifenacin in Solicept 5 Tablet helps relax the bladder muscle by blocking muscarinic receptors, which reduces sudden bladder contractions. As a tablet, it is taken by mouth and gradually works through the day to help decrease urgency, leakage, and the need to urinate often.

Solicept 5 Tablet is the lower-strength tablet compared with Solicept 10 Tablet, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants to start with a more cautious dose or when symptoms may improve with a smaller amount of solifenacin. This strength may be better suited for patients who are more sensitive to side effects like dry mouth or constipation, while still providing once-daily bladder symptom control.

• Swallow Solicept 5 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
