What Experts Say

Solifenacin is a muscarinic receptor antagonist with relative selectivity for M3 receptors, relaxing detrusor smooth muscle and reducing involuntary bladder contractions. This selectivity is thought to lower some anticholinergic side effects compared with older bladder medicines, though dry mouth and constipation remain common.

Dosing usually starts at 5mg once daily and may increase to 10mg if the lower dose is well tolerated but symptom control is insufficient. Clearance depends on liver and kidney function, so dose adjustment is needed in significant impairment, and clinicians periodically reassess bladder symptoms and residual urine volume in older patients.

Overactive bladder is common, particularly with age, and often responds best to anticholinergic therapy combined with steps such as bladder training and timed fluid intake. Long term adherence is a known challenge with this drug class because of dry mouth and constipation, so clinicians often counsel patients on managing these effects early.
