Indications

Pain Urinary Tract Infection

Flavox is used to relieve symptoms such as painful urination, urgency, night-time urination, lower abdominal pain, frequent urination and incontinence, which may occur in cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis and urethrocystitis.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Flavoxate works by directly blocking muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in organs supplied by the parasympathetic nervous system. Through this anticholinergic (parasympatholytic) effect, it relaxes bladder smooth muscle, which cuts down how often patients feel the urge to urinate, reduces episodes and intensity of urge incontinence, and helps with urinary retention by allowing more urine to be held per void.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

There are no well-controlled studies using Flavoxate Hydrochloride in pregnant women and therefore the drug should be used during pregnancy only when clearly needed. Since it is not known whether Flavoxate Hydrochloride is distributed into milk, the drug should be used with caution in nursing women.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: For adults and children over 12 years, the usual dose of Flavoxate Hydrochloride is 100 to 200 mg taken 3 or 4 times a day. The dose may be lowered as symptoms improve. In patients with an infection, treatment is usually continued for as long as antibacterial or anti-infective medicines are being given. Patients with long-standing bladder symptoms may need maintenance treatment over an extended period to get the best results.
