Description
Overview of the medicine
Uripay 200 mg Tablet is used to relieve symptoms like painful urination, frequent urination, and urgency associated with bladder inflammation (cystitis), prostate inflammation (prostatitis), and inflammation of the urethra (urethritis). It works by relaxing the muscles of the urinary bladder.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
200 mg three or four times daily. Doses may be reduced with improvement of symptoms.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment is generally required, but caution should be exercised due to increased risk of anticholinergic side effects.
Renal_impairment
Use with caution in severe renal impairment. Dosage reduction may be necessary.
How to Take
Take orally with water, preferably after meals to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.
Mechanism of Action
Flavoxate Hydrochloride directly acts as a smooth muscle relaxant on the urinary tract. It inhibits phosphodiesterase and exerts anticholinergic (antimuscarinic) effects, which lead to relaxation of the detrusor muscle of the bladder, thereby reducing spasms, urgency, frequency, and bladder pain.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within 30-60 minutes.
Excretion
Excreted mainly via urine (approximately 50-60% within 24 hours, predominantly as metabolites).
Half life
Approximately 3.5 hours.
Absorption
Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Metabolism
Extensively metabolized, primarily to 3-methylflavone-8-carboxylic acid.

Drug Interactions
CNS Depressants
May enhance drowsiness or dizziness.
Anticholinergics

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Symptoms of overdose may include severe anticholinergic effects (e.g., blurred vision, severe dry mouth, flushing, tachycardia, urinary retention, CNS excitement). Treatment is primarily supportive, with gastric lavage and symptomatic measures as needed.
