Gelnique Uses

How Does It Work?

Gelnique belongs to a group of drugs known as antimuscarinic or anticholinergic medications. It works for bladder problems by blocking specific receptors (called muscarinic receptors) in the bladder, helping to relax the muscles of the bladder. Because an overactive bladder is often due to bladder muscle contractions that are too frequent and uncontrollable, Gelnique can help relieve many symptoms of bladder problems.
 

Gelnique Uses in Children

Gelnique has not been approved for use in children, as it has not been adequately studied in individuals under 18 years of age.
 

Off-Label Uses

On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend Gelnique for treating something other than the conditions listed in this article. This is called an "off-label" use. At this time, there are no universally accepted off-label uses of Gelnique.
