It is important to take Enablex (Darifenacin) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule.

If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Enablex (Darifenacin) at room temperature, protect it from light, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Enablex (Darifenacin).

Bladder outflow obstruction: If you have a medical problem that obstructs the flow of urine from the bladder (e.g., enlarged prostate, Prostate Cancer), Enablex (Darifenacin) may make you unable to urinate. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using Enablex (Darifenacin). People with a history of bladder outflow obstruction should discuss with their doctor how Enablex (Darifenacin) may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Enablex (Darifenacin), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Dizziness/blurred vision: Enablex (Darifenacin) may cause dizziness or blurred vision. Avoid activities such as driving, operating machinery, or performing hazardous work until you know how Enablex (Darifenacin) affects you.

Gastrointestinal disorders: Because of the risk of intestinal blockage, your doctor should closely monitor your condition if you have:

decreased gastrointestinal movement caused by medical problems (e.g., Diabetes), surgery, or medications;
a medical problem that obstructs the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., pyloric stenosis); or
severe constipation (2 or fewer bowel movements per week)

If you have a history of a gastrointestinal disorder of this sort, you should discuss with your doctor how Enablex (Darifenacin) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Enablex (Darifenacin), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Glaucoma: Enablex (Darifenacin) may make the symptoms of narrow-angle glaucoma worse.

Liver function: Decreased liver function or liver disease can cause Enablex (Darifenacin) to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have moderate liver function impairment, you should not take daily doses greater than 7.5 mg of Enablex (Darifenacin). Enablex (Darifenacin) is not recommended for people with severe liver function impairment. If you have a history of liver disease or reduced liver function, discuss with your doctor how Enablex (Darifenacin) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Enablex (Darifenacin), and whether any special monitoring is needed.
