Fesoterodine is a medication used to treat symptoms of overactive bladder, such as urgent need to urinate, frequent urination, or urinary incontinence. It works by relaxing the muscles of the bladder, helping to better control urination and reduce episodes of involuntary urine loss.
Fesoterodine is usually taken as tablets, once a day at the same time. The dose is determined by the doctor based on the severity of symptoms and the patient's response to treatment. It is important not to stop treatment without your doctor's approval, even if symptoms improve.
Common side effects include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and dizziness. In rare cases, allergic reactions, difficulty urinating, or irregular heartbeat may occur. If you notice any unusual or severe reactions, contact your doctor immediately.
Fesoterodine can significantly improve the quality of life for people with overactive bladder, but its use requires medical monitoring. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking and any existing health problems.
