TabletsClinical Overview
Flavoxate Tablets (200mg) is a synthetic flavone direct musculotropic urinary antispasmodic on the PMBI formulary. It acts directly on detrusor smooth muscle cells via cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibition and local calcium antagonism, eliminating hyperreflexic contractions and bladder spasms without blocking muscarinic receptors (devoid of atropine-like anticholinergic side effects such as severe dry mouth or tachycardia). Indicated for symptomatic relief of dysuria, urgency, nocturia, suprapubic pain, and urinary frequency associated with cystitis, urethritis, trigonitis, and transurethral instrumentation.
