The Pipe Ladies from Vesicare commercials

I’ve always loved this image so I decided to print it out on my school’s (crappy, but better than nothing) printer.

I thought about hanging it up in my bathroom due to the subject matter, but decided against it. One because it’s just a regular piece of paper, but two because wouldn’t be able to see it as often.

Note: I’ve never used VESIcare so this is by no means endorsement of their product. I just love their advertising campaign.

Solifenacin Succinate

Brand Name: Vesicare

Generic Available

Common Dosage Forms:

Tablets: 5 mg, 10 mg

FDA Indications/Dosages:

For the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency: The recommended starting dose is 5 mg once daily. If the 5 mg dose is tolerated, the dose may be increased to 10 mg once daily. Take with liquids and swallow whole. May be taken without regard to food.

Pharmacology/Pharmacokinetics: Solifenacin is a competitive muscarinic receptor antagonist. Muscarinic receptors are involved in the contraction of urinary bladder smooth muscle and stimulation of salivary secretion. Solifenacin is metabolized in the liver primarily by CYP3A4 enzymes. Excretion occurs in the urine (70%) and the feces (30%). The elimination half-life of solifenacin following chronic dosing is approximately 45-68 hours.

Drug Interactions: Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, nelfinavir, clarithromycin, and nefazodone may decrease hepatic metabolism of solifenacin.

Contraindications/Precautions Contraindicated in patients with urinary retention, gastric retention, or uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma, and in patients who are at risk of these conditions. Use with cause in patients with bladder outflow obstruction, gastrointestinal obstructive disorders, decreased GI motility, ulcerative colitis, myasthenia gravis, controlled narrow-angle glaucoma, or any level of hepatic or renal impairment. Solifenacin may be excreted into breast milk therefore use caution in nursing mothers. Use with caution in patients with known QT prolongation and in those who are taking medications known to prolong the QT interval. Rare cases of angioedema have been reported. Pregnancy Category C.

Updates...

It's been a while since I posted but I thought I'd share some experience with some medications I've tried with dealing with interstitial cystitis. After my cystoscopy they gave me vesicare which has been beautiful. I'm not saying it's. Magic pill but after 2 months I'm very grateful. UNFORTUNATELY it's not covered by most if not all insurances because it's fairly new. I was recently hospitalized and they gave me ditropan and it was the WORST. dry mouth to the max. I was in taking so much water but still no water wasn't enough. Anyone else have that experience with that medication? anyways, I feel as though my IC has been manageable. Hasn't been cured or gone but I've been reducing my intake of caffeine and acidic foods. That's all we really can do right? Hope the world is doing well ❤️
