VESIcare LS oral suspension should be taken once daily. Instruct patients or their caregivers that patients should take VESIcare LS orally followed by liquid (e.g., water or milk). Instruct patients to take any missed doses as soon as they remember, unless more than 12 hours have passed since the missed dose. If more than 12 hours have passed, the missed dose can be skipped, and the next dose should be taken at the usual time.
