Introduction
VESIcare reduces the muscle spasms of the urinary tract and the bladder in your body. VESIcare treats overactive bladder symptoms, and reduces the urge and frequency of urination and urine leakage. An overactive bladder contracts when your bladder isn't full, causing your bladder muscle to overwork itself. When your bladder overworks itself, it causes you to have a sudden urge to urinate and experience bladder leakage. Usually, your bladder gets full, the bladder muscles contracts and you empty your bladder. VESIcare controls the bladder muscle and reduces frequent urination problems. According to the MayoClinic.com, if you are prescribed VESIcare by your doctor and take the recommended dose, VESIcare will be effective in treating your overactive bladder.
Function
VESIcare works because it contains solifenacin succinate, which acts as a muscle relaxant. This medication relaxes the involuntary muscle that is found in the wall of your bladder. The muscle that is located in the wall of the bladder is called the detrusor muscle. Overactive bladder occurs when the detrusor muscle contracts, and it causes an uncontrollable spasm. VESIcare relaxes the detrusor muscle by blocking cholinergic, which are the receptors found in muscle cells. This stops acetylcholine from activating these receptors. VESIcare works because it prevents acetylcholine, and helps relax the muscle in the bladder wall. This decreases the involuntary contractions and increases your ability to control your bladder.
