Hi at present I am taking Vesicare 5mg, but this does not help my bladder and the constant need to
go to the toilet, can anyone sugest an alternative as doctor is not very understanding. I believe you can up the dose to 10 mg, does anyone know if it is 2 x 5mg tables 1 x morning and 1 x night or is there a 10mg once a day.
When I took Vesicare, it was once a day. I started out with 5mg, which wasn't working, so my doctor had me double to 10mg, but still taken at the same time. I always took them at night to lessen the side effects.
Not sure what other OAB meds you have tried but there are several. If Vesicare is not working, ask your doctor for something else. If your doctor is unresponsive, find another.
Botox works best for me. Hope this helps.

Hi there
Try changing to the Kentera patch. Works the same as vesicare but you change a patch every 4 days and it removes most of the side effects. Also means your body has a constant measured dose of the drug rather than the peaks you get with vesicare.
