Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Flavate Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Flavate Tablet with food to lessen this effect.
Constipation: Consider increasing your intake of fibre-rich foods and water while taking this medicine.

Flavate Tablet contains flavoxate (200 mg) which works on your body in the following ways:

Antispasmodic Action: Flavoxate has an antispasmodic effect. This means it relaxes the smooth muscles of your bladder and urinary tract. Smooth muscles are those muscles that you can't consciously control.
Antimuscarinic Properties: Flavoxate has antimuscarinic properties. It blocks the action of a substance called acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors. Acetylcholine is a kind of neurotransmitter, which is a chemical messenger that transmits signals in the body. Blocking it reduces involuntary bladder contractions, increases bladder capacity, and delays the initial urge to urinate.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Flavate Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

This medicine should be used during breastfeeding only after consulting your doctor. It's unknown if Flavate Tablet passes into breast milk.

Alcohol

As this medicine may cause drowsiness, it's better to avoid alcohol while on this medication as it may worsen the drowsiness.

Liver

Flavate Tablet should be used with caution if you have any liver health issues. Always discuss your liver health with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, caution is advised before using Flavate Tablet. Consult your doctor to understand more about this.

Using Machines & Driving

Since Flavate Tablet can cause blurred vision or drowsiness, you should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery when taking this medicine until you know how it affects you.

Allergy

If you are allergic to flavoxate or any other ingredients in Flavate Tablet, do not take this medication. Always inform your doctor about any allergies before starting treatment.

Children

Use of Flavate Tablet in children is not recommended. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Flavate Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Flavate Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Anticholinergics: Flavate Tablet, when taken with medicines like atropine or scopolamine, may enhance antimuscarinic effects, resulting in increased side effects like dry mouth and constipation.
Antihistamines: If you're taking antihistamines such as diphenhydramine or chlorpheniramine, they can intensify the drowsiness and blurred vision caused by Flavate Tablet.
Antipsychotics: Medicines like chlorpromazine or clozapine can increase the risk of side effects, such as dry mouth and constipation, when taken with Flavate Tablet.
Tricyclic Antidepressants: Using medicines like amitriptyline or imipramine alongside Flavate Tablet may lead to enhanced antimuscarinic effects and increased side effects.
Opioid painkillers: Taking opioid painkillers like codeine or oxycodone with Flavate Tablet may increase drowsiness.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known interactions between Flavate Tablet and any specific foods.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Flavate Tablet interacts with the following diseases:
