Soltaden 5 mg Tablet

Soltaden 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 5 mg of solifenacin in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called antimuscarinics (anticholinergics), which help calm an overactive bladder. Soltaden 5 mg Tablet is used to treat symptoms such as frequent urination, sudden urgent need to urinate, and urine leakage from urge incontinence.

How it works: Solifenacin works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder, which helps relax the bladder muscle and reduces sudden bladder contractions. As a tablet, Soltaden 5 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to provide ongoing control of overactive bladder symptoms.

The 5 mg tablet is the lower standard tablet strength of solifenacin and is often chosen when a doctor wants a gentler starting dose or a dose that may be easier to tolerate. Because Soltaden 5 mg Tablet is an oral tablet, it fits typical once-daily use and may be preferred before moving up to a higher dose if more symptom control is needed.
