Exena-S 50/5 Tablet 10's

Exena-S 50/5 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary incontinence (urine leakage), urgent or frequent urination, increased night-time urination, and dysuria (painful or difficult urination). Overactive bladder is a condition in which there is a problem with bladder function, which causes a sudden urge to urinate that might be difficult to control.
 
Exena-S 50/5 Tablet contains Solifenacin (anti-cholinergic) and Mirabegron (beta-3 adrenergic agonist). Solifenacin reduces the undesirable contractions of the bladder, thereby increasing the amount of urine that the bladder can hold. This decreases the urgency for urination. Mirabegron relaxes the muscles of the bladder; this prevents frequent, uncontrolled, or urgent urination. Together, Exena-S 50/5 Tablet helps in treating overactive bladder.
 
You are advised to take Exena-S 50/5 Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Overactive bladder (OAB): Overactive bladder is a condition in which there is a problem with bladder function, which causes a sudden urge to urinate that might be difficult to control. The contraction or tightening of bladder muscles causes bladder spasms. Continuous contractions may cause an urge to urinate. Overactive bladder is characterised by involuntary leakage of urine, excessive urination, and urgent need to urinate. The common causes of bladder spasms are urinary tract infections, drinking too much caffeine or alcohol, diabetes, constipation, impaired kidney function, bladder stones, enlarged prostate, or neurological disorders. Symptoms of overactive bladder include urinating more than 8 times a day and more than 2 times at night, strong and sudden need to urinate, leakage of urine, and loss of bladder control.
