Flospasm tablets (likely referring to “Flavospas” tablets) are used to treat and prevent muscle spasms of the urinary tract, which includes the bladder and the tube (urethra) through which urine passes. These spasms can cause symptoms like frequent urination, a strong urge to urinate, painful urination, and difficulty controlling urination. Flospasm tablets help to relax the muscles of the urinary tract, thus relieving these symptoms.[7]
Specific uses include:
- Relief from uncontrollable bladder muscle contractions that cause frequent and urgent urination[7].
- Treatment of painful, frequent, or nighttime urination, particularly if associated with urinary tract infections or inflammation of the bladder, prostate gland, or urethra[8].
- Reducing urinary urgency and incontinence (difficulty controlling urination)[7].
- Relief from symptoms following surgery, cystoscopy (bladder examination), or catheterization, such as dysuria (painful urination) and nocturia (excessive urination at night)[8].
Flospasm/Flavospas tablets begin to take effect quickly, within two to three hours of administration. They should be taken as prescribed by a doctor, usually with food. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.[7]
Common side effects may include:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision
- Nervousness
- Sweating
- Palpitations (feeling like your heart is pounding)
- Fever[7]
These side effects are generally mild and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if side effects are severe or persistent.[7][8]
Warnings:
- Do not take Flospasm if you have certain medical conditions, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, urinary retention, glaucoma, muscular swallowing difficulties, or are allergic to any of the tablet’s ingredients.
- Flospasm can cause drowsiness and dizziness. It is advised not to drive or operate machinery until you know how this medicine affects you.
- Avoid alcohol as it can increase drowsiness.
- Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, and this medication should not be used in children unless specifically prescribed by a healthcare provider.[8]
