WHAT EMSELEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
HOW EMSELEX WORKS
Emselex reduces the activity of an overactive bladder. This enables
you to wait longer before you go
to the toilet and it increases the amount of urine that your bladder
can hold.
WHAT EMSELEX CAN BE USED FOR
Emselex belongs to a class of medicines which relax the muscles of the
bladder. It is used in adults for
the treatment of the symptoms of overactive bladder conditions - such
as a sudden urge to rush to the
toilet, needing to go to the toilet frequently and/or not getting to
the toilet in time and wetting yourself
(urge incontinence).

Posology
_Adults _
The recommended starting dose is 7.5 mg daily. After 2 weeks of
starting therapy, patients should be
reassessed. For those patients requiring greater symptom relief, the
dose may be increased to 15 mg
daily, based on individual response.
_Elderly patients (≥ 65 years) _
The recommended starting dose for the elderly is 7.5 mg daily. After 2
weeks of starting therapy,
patients should be reassessed for efficacy and safety.
_ _
For those patients who have an acceptable
tolerability profile but require greater symptom relief, the dose may
be increased to 15 mg daily, based
on individual response (see section 5.2).
_ _
_Paediatric population _
Emselex is not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age
due to a lack of data on safety

function. However, caution should be
exercised when treating this population (see section 5.2).
