Description
Vesigard 7.5 mg is an extended-release tablet that contains 7.5 mg of Darifenacin as its active ingredient. It is prescribed for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms such as:
— Having a strong urge to go to the bathroom right away
— Leaking accidents (urinary incontinence)
— Having to go to the bathroom too often (urinary frequency)
An overactive bladder is when you can’t control your bladder contractions. When this contraction of muscles happens too often or can’t be controlled, you get symptoms of overactive bladder urge, urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency.
