Solifenacin
Solifenacin relaxes involuntary bladder contractions and may reduce urgency, frequency and leakage in overactive bladder. Infection or obstruction can cause similar symptoms and need different care.
Key points
- New bladder symptoms should be assessed before antimuscarinic treatment.
- Urinary retention, severe constipation, narrow-angle glaucoma and long-QT risk can make solifenacin unsafe.
- Inability to urinate, severe abdominal swelling or a painful red eye with blurred vision needs urgent care.

When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent help for inability to urinate with severe lower-abdominal pain, severe abdominal swelling with vomiting or inability to pass stool, a painful red eye with halos or blurred vision, fainting with an irregular heartbeat, severe confusion or heat illness.
