Fesoterodine is used to treat a variety of bladder issues, such as neurogenic detrusor overactivity and overactive bladder symptoms include incontinence (lack of bladder control), a strong urge to urinate immediately, or a regular urge to urinate. It affects the bladder’s muscles to expand their capacity for holding pee and stop them from contributing to incontinence.

Prior to Using
The benefits of a medicine must be evaluated against the hazards when determining whether to use it. You will decide this along with your doctor. Consider the following when using this medication:

Allergies
If you have ever experienced an unusual or adverse reaction to this medication or any other medication, let your doctor know right away. If you have any other allergies, such as those to foods, colors, preservatives, or animals, be sure to let your healthcare provider know. Read the ingredients carefully on the label or container of non-prescription products.

Pediatric
Age-related differences in the effects of fesoterodine on children with overactive bladder symptoms or those under the age of six have not been adequately studied.

Geriatric

Up to this point, appropriate investigations have not revealed any geriatric-specific issues that would restrict the utility of fesoterodine in the elderly. Elderly individuals are more likely to experience unpleasant side effects (such as constipation, dizziness, dry mouth, upset stomach, or urinary tract infection), as well as age-related liver or renal issues, therefore they should be treated with caution when taking fesoterodine.
