Carole,

lts well worth trying - and l expect the ‘bladder nurse’ has recommended it to others and knows how it works. Lets hope it gives you some respite from accidents.

Hi Carole Vesicare is the same as solifenacin. It has worked very well for me. I’ve been on it for 5 and a half years. It was fantastic up until summer 2011 when I had loads of UTIs which made it less effective. It still works better for me than other alternatives. Give it a go - it will probably really help.
