Vesomni

Vesomni is a medicine used to treat men with urinary problems. Vesomni tablets contain two active ingredients: solifenacin – an antimuscarinic muscle relaxant – and tamsulosin – an alpha-blocker. Vesomni helps the muscle in the bladder wall to relax, increasing the capacity of the bladder to hold urine, which in turn reduces the need to pass urine. Vesomni also allows urine to flow freely through the urethra, which makes it easier to pass urine.

Vesomni tablets are prescribed to men with storage or voiding symptoms in the bladder. Voiding symptoms such as urinary hesitancy (difficulty initiating the stream), weak or intermittent stream, dribbling after urination and incomplete bladder emptying can be caused by an enlarged prostate gland. Bladder problems can cause storage symptoms such as urinary frequency or urgency (a compelling need to urinate that cannot be put off). Vesomni tablets help to ease these symptoms. Vesomni is often used when treatment with a mono product has failed to bring the patient relief.

Vesomni tablets should be swallowed whole with water, with or without food, and must not be broken, chewed or crushed. Always take this medicine as indicated on the package leaflet. If in doubt, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

The usual dose is one Vesomni tablet once a day. Do not take more than one tablet each day. If you have taken more than the maximum dose, consult a doctor or pharmacist immediately for treatment. Never take a double dose to catch up.

Vesomni can cause side effects, the most common being a dry mouth, constipation and indigestion. Dizziness, blurred vision and tiredness are other possible side effects. If you experience an allergic response or severe irritation to the skin, stop using Vesomni immediately and consult a doctor. See the package leaflet for a complete list of side effects.

Vesomni should not be used if you are hypersensitive or allergic to solifenacin, tamsulosin or any other ingredient in this medicine, are having haemodialysis for kidney failure, or have a liver or kidney condition. Read the instructions on the package leaflet carefully before you start taking Vesomni tablets.

This medicine may cause dizziness, blurred vision or tiredness and may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery safely.

Drinking alcohol may intensify any side effects, so you should drink alcohol in moderation until you know how this medicine affects you.
