I have started a medication called Vesicare on a low dose to start and over six months to build up to the maximum dose.

My query is that I have been invited to a celebration but the packaging don't indicate if it is safe to have anything alcoholic.

Can anyone who knows this medication able to answer this query?

    Look online or call UR pharmist. Many here who take the same med don't take other meds or have UR health history.

    Vesicare appears to be a drug dealing with the bladder, so I think this is probably the wrong group to post it in, however, it decreases perspiration amongst other things, so I would avoid alcohol.

    i've been on vesicare.

    it depends why you are on it.

    suggest you talk to your local pharmacist. 

    good luck

    Did you read the patient leaflet that came with the drug?

    As the others have said, ask the Pharmacist, or the prescriber

    So with all the information I have decided that it would be safer to avoid alcohol while on mentioned medication.
