Prescription Required
Description
Enablex is an oral tablet made up of a urinary antispasmodics drug called darifenacin. We carry this medication in a generic alternative (darifenacin) and in the brand choice (Enablex) both available in 7.5mg and 15mg.
Enablex is prescribed to help treat a condition called overactive bladder. This is a condition in which one has to urinate often, urgently, and has little control over urination causing incontinence (leakage). A person can get overactive bladder from quite a few different ways, including having weak muscles, an infection or nerve damage, use of medications, alcohol or caffeine, and being overweight.
Darifenacin works by reducing the spasms of the bladder and urinary tract.
