Enablex Side Effects

Heartburn, constipation, and dry mouth are some of the most commonly reported side effects of Enablex. In most cases, these side effects are minor and either don't require medical attention or can be treated easily. Enablex side effects that, while occurring infrequently, are potentially serious and should be reported to a healthcare provider right away include difficulty passing urine, severe constipation, and confusion.

An Introduction to Enablex Side Effects

As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Enablex® (darifenacin); however, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
 
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Enablex. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Enablex side effects with you.)
 

Possible Enablex Side Effects

Enablex has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials. In these studies, the side effects that occur in a group of people taking the drug are documented and are then compared to side effects that occur in another group of people not taking the medicine. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
