Table of contents:

Enablex generically known as Darifenacin is a muscarinic antagonist indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency.

Enablex belongs to the class of drugs known as antispasmodics. It works by blocking the action of a chemical called acetylcholine, which is involved in the contraction of the muscles in the bladder. By blocking this action, Darifenacin can help reduce the symptoms of an overactive bladder.

Uses and Dosage

Enablex (darifenacin) comes in the form of Extended-Release Tablet to take by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. Swallow the extended-release tablets whole, without crushing or chewing them, with a full glass of water (8 ounces/240 milliliters). It is usually taken once a day or as directed by your healthcare provider.

To ensure maximum efficacy, use Enablex regularly and try to take it at the same time each day. Swallowing the tablets whole is important, as crushing or chewing them can release all the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects.

The recommended starting dose of Enablex is 7.5 mg orally once daily. Based upon individual response, the dose may be increased to 15 mg once daily, as early as two weeks after starting therapy.
