Darif Tablet 10's

Darif Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medications called ‘antimuscarinic' or 'antispasmodics' primarily used in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Overactive bladder is a condition in which the urinary bladder muscles constrict uncontrollably thereby causing an urgent need to urinate, frequent urination, and inability to control urination.

Darif Tablet 10's contains ‘Darifenacin’ that relaxes the urinary bladder muscles which in turn decreases the activity of the overactive bladder. In an overactive bladder, muscle contractions occur before the full expansion of the bladder causing the patient to have frequent urges to urinate. Darif Tablet 10's stops these sudden contractions of urinary bladder muscles thereby enabling control over urination. Thus, it increases the amount and volume of urination that can be held by your bladder.

Overactive bladder (OAB): In normal conditions, when the urinary bladder is filled with urine, it sends a message to the brain that an individual is ready to urinate. During the urination process, bladder muscles contract which ultimately leads to a uniform flow of urine. Contrary to this, in an Overactive bladder (OAB), the urinary bladder muscles start contracting before the urine is filled in the urinary bladder, thereby causing frequent urges to urinate. Darif Tablet 10's prevents this sudden bladder muscle contractions and increasing the volume and amount of urine that the bladder can hold. Thus, Darif Tablet 10's helps to control the release of urine and helps reduce symptoms of OAB like a strong urge to urinate, frequent urination, and reduced urine flow.
