Flavoxate: Uses, Side Effects & Brands in Pakistan

Flavoxate is a urinary antispasmodic. It is a prescription medicine used for bladder spasm, urgency and painful urination. In Pakistan it is available as tablets, made by 5 different manufacturers. On this page you can read how it works, its common side effects and precautions, and compare the brands and prices available at Medimart.

How Flavoxate works

Flavoxate relaxes the smooth muscle of the bladder and urinary tract. This reduces sudden, painful contractions, so the bladder can hold urine more comfortably and the urge to pass urine becomes less frequent and less intense.

What is Flavoxate used for?

• Bladder spasm
• Urgency
• Painful urination

Flavoxate is used to relieve painful bladder spasms and the urgency, frequency and discomfort that come with bladder irritation, such as in cystitis, prostatitis or after procedures on the urinary tract. It eases symptoms but does not treat the cause, so any underlying infection still needs antibiotics.

Side effects of Flavoxate

Flavoxate is generally well tolerated, but some people notice:

• Dry mouth
• Blurred vision
• Drowsiness
• Nausea
• Headache
• Nervousness

See a doctor for fever, blood in the urine, inability to pass urine, eye pain, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash or swelling.

Precautions and warnings

• Treat any underlying urine infection, as Flavoxate only relieves symptoms.
• Tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, blockage of the bowel or urinary tract, or bleeding from the stomach or bowel.
• Do not drive or operate machinery if it makes you drowsy or blurs your vision.
• Use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if your doctor advises it.
• See your doctor if symptoms do not improve.
