Hello,
VESICARE (solifenacin) reduces muscle spasms of the bladder and urinary tract and is used to treat symptoms of overactive bladder, such as frequent or urgent urination, and incontinence (urine leakage).
Feeling tired,drowsy,dizzy,nausea etc are very common side effects of VESICARE.
This medicine has to be taken once a day and there is no harm in giving it in the night.However do talk to your doctor as it has interactions with various medicines.
Regular use of the medicine shall gradually lessen the side effects.
Thanks
