About fesoterodine

Fesoterodine is prescribed to treat أعراض بولية مثل الإلحاح، التكرار وسلس البول. يحدث الإلحاح البولي عندما تشعر بحاجة مفاجئة وملحة للتبول. إذا كنت بحاجة للذهاب إلى المرحاض أكثر من المعتاد، فهذا يسمى تكرار التبول. إذا تسرب البول قبل الذهاب إلى المرحاض، فهذا يسمى سلس البول.

There are several different causes of these urinary symptoms, such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, problems causing your bladder muscles to contract too much or too early, or something causing an obstruction. Sometimes the cause of these symptoms is unknown.

Fesoterodine works by stopping sudden bladder muscle contractions and increasing the volume of urine that your bladder can hold. This helps to control the release of urine and eases your symptoms.

Before taking fesoterodine

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you start taking fesoterodine it is important that your doctor knows:

• إذا كنت حاملاً أو مرضعة.

• إذا كنت تعاني من حالة قلبية، مثل اضطراب في نظم القلب، مشاكل في الأوعية الدموية في قلبك، أو فشل القلب.

• إذا كان لديك أي مشاكل في طريقة عمل الكبد أو في طريقة عمل الكلى.

• إذا كان لديك أي مشاكل في غدة البروستاتا.

• If you have any of the following conditions: increased eye pressure (called glaucoma); hiatus hernia; acid reflux; an overactive thyroid gland; high blood pressure; a condition causing muscle weakness, called myasthenia gravis.

• If you have a condition which could cause a blockage in your stomach, bowel or urinary tract.

• إذا كنت قد تعرضت في أي وقت مضى لرد فعل تحسسي تجاه دواء.

• إذا كنت تتناول أي أدوية أخرى. يشمل ذلك أي أدوية تتناولها والتي يمكن شراؤها بدون وصفة طبية، بالإضافة إلى الأدوية العشبية والمكملات الغذائية.

How to take fesoterodine

• Before you start the treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside the pack. It will give you more information about fesoterodine and will provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you may experience from taking it.

• Take the tablets exactly as your doctor tells you to. The recommended dose is one tablet every day. There are two strengths of tablet available: 4 mg and 8 mg. It is usual to be prescribed the 4 mg strength tablet to begin with, although this may later be increased to the 8 mg strength if needed.

• Try to take the tablet at the same time of day each day, as this will help you to remember to take your doses regularly. You can take fesoterodine either before or after meals. Swallow the tablet with a drink of water. The tablets have been specially made to release fesoterodine evenly over the day, so it is important that you swallow the tablet whole - do not chew or crush it before you swallow.

• If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the following day, leave out the missed dose but make sure you take the dose due on that day. Do not take two doses together to make up for a forgotten dose.

تحقيق أقصى استفادة من علاجك

• Try to keep your regular appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check on your progress and review your treatment. It may take 2-8 weeks before you feel the full benefit from taking the tablets.

• المشروبات التي تحتوي على الكافيين (مثل الشاي، القهوة، الشوكولاتة الساخنة والكولا) قد تجعل الأعراض لديك أسوأ. وذلك لأن الكافيين يزيد من تدفق البول (فهو مدر طبيعي للبول) وسيجعلك ترغب في التبول. إذا كنت تشرب الكثير من المشروبات التي تحتوي على الكافيين، فكر في التحول إلى البدائل الخالية من الكافيين.

• Try to maintain a normal life as much as possible with regard to drinking and visiting the toilet. However, drinking late at night may mean your sleep is disturbed by the desire to get up and go to the toilet, so you may want to avoid drinking too much during the evening.

• قد يقترح طبيبك أن تقوم ببعض تمارين قاع الحوض لتقوية العضلات حول الجزء السفلي من مثانتك. يمكن أن تساعد هذه التمارين في تحسين الأعراض لديك.

• If you drink grapefruit juice regularly, please let your doctor know about this. A chemical in grapefruit juice may increase the amount of fesoterodine in your bloodstream. Because of this, your doctor will prescribe only the 4 mg strength of fesoterodine tablets for you.

• If you buy any medicines or herbal remedies, always check with a pharmacist that they are suitable to take with fesoterodine. Some medicines (particularly antihistamines) and some herbal remedies (such as St John's wort) can increase the chance that you will experience unwanted effects such as a dry mouth, constipation and feeling sleepy.
