Benefits of Flavolead Tablet
Overactive bladder
In an overactive bladder, the bladder muscle squeezes suddenly and often, causing urgent and frequent trips to the toilet. Flavoxate relaxes this muscle, so the bladder can hold more urine and the urge becomes easier to control.
Painful urination, urgency and frequency
Irritation of the bladder or urethra can cause burning, pain and a constant urge to pass urine. By easing spasm in the urinary tract, flavoxate relieves these symptoms while the underlying cause is treated.
Night-time urination, lower abdominal pain and leakage
Relaxing the bladder muscle can reduce how often you wake at night to pass urine, ease discomfort above the pubic bone, and lessen leakage caused by bladder spasm.
Symptoms of urinary infections and inflammation
In cystitis, prostatitis and urethritis, flavoxate eases the painful spasm and urgency. It does not treat infection itself, so your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic alongside it.
Side effects of Flavolead Tablet
Most side effects are mild and settle as your body adjusts. Tell your doctor if they continue or worry you.
- Nausea (the most common side effect)

How to take Flavolead Tablet
Take this medicine in the dose and for the length of time your doctor advises, usually one tablet three times a day. Swallow the tablet whole with water after a meal; do not chew or crush it.
How Flavolead Tablet works
Flavoxate is a urinary antispasmodic. It acts directly on the smooth muscle of the bladder and urinary tract, relaxing it and reducing involuntary contractions. This increases the amount of urine the bladder can hold and eases pain, urgency and frequency.
