6.Contents of the Package and Additional Information

1. What is Solifenacina Aristo and what is it used for

The active ingredient of Solifenacina Aristo belongs to the group of anticholinergics. These medications are used to reduce the activity of an overactive bladder. This allows you to have more time before needing to go to the bathroom and increases the amount of urine that your bladder can hold.

Solifenacina Aristo is used to treat the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome. These symptoms include: having a strong and sudden need to urinate without prior warning, having to urinate frequently or having urine leakage due to not making it to the bathroom on time.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Solifenacina Aristo

Do not take Solifenacina Aristo

  • if you are allergic to solifenacina or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6);
  • if you have difficulty urinating or emptying your bladder completely (urinary retention)
  • if you have a severe stomach or intestinal disorder (including toxic megacolon, a complication associated with ulcerative colitis);
  • if you have a muscle disease called myasthenia gravis, which may cause extreme weakness in certain muscles;
  • if you have high blood pressure in the eyes, with gradual loss of vision (glaucoma);
  • if you are undergoing renal dialysis;
  • if you have severe liver disease;
  • if you have severe kidney disease or moderate liver disease and are being treated with medications that can reduce the elimination of Solifenacina Aristo from the body (e.g. ketoconazole). Your doctor or pharmacist will inform you if this is the case.

Inform your doctor if you have or have had any of the diseases mentioned above before starting treatment with Solifenacina Aristo.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Solifenacina Aristo

  • if you have difficulty emptying your bladder (= bladder obstruction) or urinating (e.g. weak urine flow). The risk of urine accumulation in the bladder (urinary retention) is much higher;
  • if you have any obstruction of the digestive system (constipation);
  • if you have an increased risk of decreased activity of the digestive system (gastrointestinal motility). Your doctor will inform you if this is the case;
  • if you have severe kidney disease;
  • if you have moderate liver disease;
  • if you have hiatal hernia or heartburn;
  • if you have a nervous disorder (autonomic neuropathy).

Inform your doctor if you have or have had any of the diseases mentioned above before starting treatment with Solifenacina Aristo.

Before starting treatment with Solifenacina Aristo, your doctor will evaluate if there are other causes for your frequent need to urinate (e.g. heart failure or kidney disease). If you have a urinary tract infection, your doctor will prescribe an antibiotic (a treatment for certain bacterial infections).

Children and adolescents

Solifenacina Aristo should not be used in children or adolescents under 18 years old.

  • medications such as ketoconazole, ritonavir, nelfinavir, itraconazole, verapamil, and diltiazem, which reduce the rate of elimination of solifenacina from the body;
  • medications such as rifampicin, phenytoin, and carbamazepine, which may increase the rate of elimination of solifenacina from the body;
  • medications such as bisphosphonates, which may cause or worsen esophagitis.
