Urispas

Product Overview

Urispas is a medication containing the active ingredient Flavoxate HCL. It belongs to a class of drugs known as antispasmodics, which work by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bladder, urinary tract, and prostate. It is commonly prescribed to relieve painful, frequent, or urgent urination, as well as urinary incontinence and discomfort associated with urinary tract infections.

Uses

Urispas is indicated for the symptomatic relief of urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, and incontinence as may occur in cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, urethrocystitis/urethrotrigonitis. It is also used to alleviate bladder spasms and discomfort associated with catheterization or diagnostic procedures of the urinary tract.

How to Use

Take Urispas orally with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet before swallowing. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on your medical condition and response to therapy. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and do not exceed the recommended dosage.

How it Works

Urispas works by blocking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that stimulates the contraction of smooth muscles in the urinary tract. By inhibiting these muscle contractions, it helps to reduce bladder spasms and alleviate symptoms of urinary urgency, frequency, and incontinence. This leads to an improvement in urinary control and a decrease in discomfort associated with urinary tract conditions.

Dosage and Administration

The usual dosage of Urispas for adults is one 100 mg tablet taken 3 to 4 times daily. Your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your individual response to treatment and medical condition. It is important to take it regularly to maintain its effectiveness. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
