Exena-S 50/5 Tablet is a combination of two drugs, namely: Solifenacin and Mirabegron. Exena-S 50/5 Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary incontinence (urine leakage), urgent or frequent urination, increased night-time urination, dysuria (painful or difficult urination). Solifenacin is an anti-cholinergic that reduces the undesirable contractions of the bladder, thereby increasing the amount of urine that the bladder can hold. This decreases the urgency for urination. Mirabegron is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist which relaxes the muscles of the bladder; this prevents frequent, uncontrolled, or urgent urination. Together, Exena-S 50/5 Tablet helps in treating an overactive bladder.
