Description

Dariten OD 15 Tablet is used to treat an overactive bladder, a condition characterised by symptoms such as a frequent and sudden urge to urinate, inability to control urination, and leaking of urine. This medicine improves the ability to control urination by relaxing the muscles in the urinary bladder thus relieving symptoms associated with an overactive bladder. Dariten OD 15 Tablet shows side effects like dry mouth, constipation, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. Most of these side effects resolve with time. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor at the earliest. Avoid driving vehicles or operating machines as Dariten OD 15 Tablet may cause dizziness or blurry vision in some people. Dariten OD 15 Tablet can be taken with or without food. Your doctor will decide the dose based on your clinical condition. It may take some time for your bladder to adapt and your symptoms to improve. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor. Dariten OD 15 Tablet is not recommended for use if you are allergic to it or if you have urinary retention (when you are unable to empty the bladder completely), severe liver problems, narrow-angle glaucoma (an eye condition that causes an increase in fluid pressure within the eye when the drainage canal that allows fluid to drain from the eye becomes blocked), or gastric retention (when there is delayed gastric emptying, causing your stomach to take too long to empty its contents). Inform your doctor about the medications you are taking to avoid any undesired effects. Dariten OD 15 Tablet is not recommended for children under 18 years of age.
