About Dariten OD 15 mg Tablet 10's

Dariten OD 15 mg 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.

Dariten OD 15 mg 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.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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. Dariten OD 15 mg Tablet 10's prevents this sudden bladder muscle contractions and increasing the volume and amount of urine that the bladder can hold. Thus, Dariten OD 15 mg 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.
