Generic Solifenacin Buyer and Patient Handbook in Singapore
What is Solifenacin?
Solifenacin is a prescription-only antimuscarinic medication used to treat symptoms of an overactive bladder, such as urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence. It belongs to the class of bladder antispasmodics and is approved by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore. The drug is supplied as an oral tablet (pill).
Who Should Use Solifenacin?
- Adults diagnosed with overactive bladder symptoms.
- Individuals whose symptoms are not adequately controlled by lifestyle measures alone.
- Patients who can safely take anticholinergic agents (no severe Glaucoma, urinary retention, or uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma).
How Does It Work?
Solifenacin blocks muscarinic M3 receptors in the bladder wall, reducing involuntary muscle contractions that cause urgency. Think of it as turning down the "engine" that drives sudden bladder spasms, allowing more controlled emptying. It does not affect the heart or blood pressure, so cardiovascular safety is generally good.
Why Choose Solifenacin?
- Efficacy: Clinical trials show consistent reduction in daily urgency episodes.
- Convenient dosing: Once-daily tablet simplifies adherence.
- Availability: Both brand (Vesicare) and generic versions are on the Singapore market, offering cost-saving options.
Dosage, Administration, Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations
Recommended Dosage
| Strength | Typical Dose |
|---|---|
| 5 mg | Start, may increase |
| 10 mg | For patients needing stronger effect, if tolerated |
Dose is taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day.
How to Take
- Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
- Can be taken with or without food; consistency helps maintain stable blood levels.
Missed Dose

- If more than 12 hours have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.

Special Populations
- Elderly: Start at 5 mg; monitor for dry mouth and constipation.
- Renal impairment: Dose may need reduction; consult a pharmacist.
- Hepatic impairment: Use with caution; avoid if severe.
Lifestyle & Diet
- Drink plenty of fluids (except when fluid restriction is advised).
- Limit caffeine and alcohol as they can irritate the bladder.
- Avoid grapefruit juice, which may increase solifenacin levels.
Precautions and Warnings
- May cause dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision; stay hydrated and maintain a high-fiber diet.
- Use caution if you have narrow-angle glaucoma or urinary retention.
- Inform your pharmacist of any history of severe kidney or liver disease.

How long does it take to feel an improvement?

Can I take Solifenacin with my blood pressure medication?
Generally yes, but inform your pharmacist of all current medicines to rule out specific interactions.
Is it safe to drink coffee while on Solifenacin?
Caffeine can irritate the bladder and may lessen the drug’s benefit; limit intake if you notice worsening symptoms.

Increase dietary fiber, hydrate well, and consider a mild laxative after consulting a pharmacist.
Can Solifenacin be used for children?
It is approved for adults only; pediatric use is not recommended.

Reviews
Started on 5mg for my overactive bladder after three months of waking up three times a night. The urgency is gone, which is amazing. But my mouth feels like sandpaper. I wake up constantly to drink water. My dentist is worried about dry mouth erosion. I've found taking it right before bed helps a little, but the dry eye is a menace if I'm working on a computer all day.
This 10mg pill works for my urgency, but my brain fog is real. I feel like I'm wading through water mentally. My pharmacy tech told me splitting the 10mg in half and taking 5mg in the morning and 5mg in the afternoon might reduce the cognitive side effects, but it also reduces the effectiveness on the urge. Still trying to find the sweet spot, but honestly, the trade-off for not leaking is probably worth the occasional fuzziness.
Been on Solifenacin 5mg for over a year now. The only way to manage the constipation is to take magnesium oxide every single night. If I miss the mag, I'm blocked for three days. You absolutely cannot skip fiber when on this medication. For the dryness, I chew sugar-free gum incessantly. Yes, it fixes the urgency 95% of the time, but maintenance is high. It's not a passive fix.
Just started 5mg two weeks ago. The bathroom visits dropped significantly by day four, I was shocked. But now I have eye floaters and serious trouble focusing on close tasks. I talked to my GP, and she said it's a known anticholinergic effect, but it feels like my eyesight is degrading fast. I’m thinking about stopping just because of the vision issues. Has anyone else experienced this specific side effect?
I've been using the 10mg Solifenacin for two years. Initially, I had terrible stomach aches, but I learned to always take it with a full meal, never on an empty stomach. If I take it with my dinner, the stomach problems are zero. Urgency is completely managed, which has allowed me to travel again without constant anxiety. But be warned: the dry eye syndrome is permanent. Artificial tears are now part of my daily routine.
Started 5mg due to nighttime accidents. It stopped the bed-wetting but caused crippling fatigue. I feel like I need a nap constantly, even after eight hours of sleep. I tried taking it in the morning, which made me feel sedated at work. Now I take it right as I get into bed, but still, the morning grogginess is heavy. Good news is the sheets are dry. Bad news is I'm useless until 11 AM. Needs a stimulant coffee hack.
I inherited a lot of urgency from my mom. Solifenacin 5mg helps stop the "gotta go now" feeling, but I noticed my heart rate feels funny sometimes, a bit faster and skip-y. When I mentioned this, the doctor dropped my dosage down to 2.5mg (I split the 5mg pill with a cutter) and it still works just enough without the cardiac weirdness. If you have palpitations, definitely try splitting the dose. Less is more sometimes.
The medicine works wonders for my bladder control during the day. I can sit through meetings again! However, it seems to completely wreck my digestive system balance. I get heartburn/acid reflux almost every day now, something I never had before taking this pill. I countered it with OTC antacids, but it's annoying trading one problem for two new ones. Still, the freedom from the bathroom anxiety is worth the Tums addiction.
