Composition

Darifenacin (7.5 Mg)

Deritas 7.5 Tablet is primarily used to manage symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB). This medicine belongs to a group known as antimuscarinic medication.

In addition to its primary use, this medicine helps manage associated symptoms of OAB such as urinary urgency, which is a sudden, intense urge to urinate, urinary frequency (needing to urinate more often than usual), and urge incontinence, which is the accidental leakage of urine due to uncontrollable urges. By helping to relax the bladder muscle, it can improve your ability to control urination.

It is important to take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Before starting this medicine, make sure to inform your doctor about any ongoing medications or pre-existing conditions. If you experience any side effects, notify your doctor immediately. For best results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Overactive bladder in adults: This condition results in involuntary bladder muscle contractions.

Blocks M3 Muscarinic Receptors: Darifenacin works by preventing a chemical called acetylcholine from acting on M3 muscarinic receptors in the smooth muscle of your bladder. These receptors are key in causing bladder muscle contractions.
