HIDE SMILES / InChI
Flavoxate is a drug, indicated for symptomatic relief of dysuria, urgency, nocturia, suprapubic pain, frequency and incontinence as may occur in cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, urethrocystitis/urethrotrigonitis. Flavoxate is not indicated for definitive treatment, but is compatible with drugs used for the treatment of urinary tract infections. It was approved for use in the United States in 1970 and continues to be used. Drug acts as a direct antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in cholinergically innervated organs. Its anticholinergic-parasympatholytic action reduces the tonus of smooth muscle in the bladder, effectively reducing the number of required voids, facilitating increased volume per void. Common side effects are those of parasympathetic stimulation and include dryness of the mouth and eyes, decreased sweating, headache, visual blurring, constipation, urinary retention, impotence, tachycardia and palpitations, anxiety, restlessness and in some instances agitation and delusions.

Sample Use Guides

Adults and children over 12 years of age: one or two 100 mg tablets 3 or 4 times a day. With improvement of symptoms, the dose may be reduced. This drug cannot be recommended for infants and children under 12 years of age because safety and efficacy have not been demonstrated in this age group.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Curator's Comment: The antispasmodic effects of the flavone compounds flavoxate hydrochloride on the human detrusor, prostatic adenoma, prostatic capsule, and bladder neck, were studied by the in vitro isometric method. Flavoxate showed a slightly greater activity than the other compounds in the prostatic and bladder neck tissues. The relaxant effect on the prostatic tissues suggests a potential use for these compounds in benign prostatic obstruction.
