Urispas 200 mg Tablet

Urispas 200 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 200 mg of flavoxate in each tablet. It belongs to the urinary antispasmodic class, which is used to help relieve bladder spasms and urinary symptoms such as urgency, frequency, and pain or discomfort when urinating. Urispas 200 mg Tablet is used for symptoms caused by irritation or spasm of the urinary tract, not for treating a urinary infection itself.

How it works: Flavoxate helps relax the smooth muscle in the bladder, which can reduce painful spasms and the feeling of needing to urinate urgently or often. As a tablet, Urispas 200 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to act on urinary tract muscle spasm rather than acting as an antibiotic.

Urispas 200 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet form, so it is typically used only when a doctor has decided that this dose is appropriate for the patient’s symptoms. Compared with lower-strength options, each tablet delivers a full 200 mg dose in one tablet, which can make the dosing schedule simpler for adults who need this strength. Because it is a prescription-strength bladder spasm medicine, the right dose depends on the patient’s age, symptoms, and medical history.

• Bladder spasms
• Urinary urgency
• Frequent urination
• Painful urination due to irritation
• Lower urinary tract discomfort

• Take Urispas 200 mg Tablet by mouth with a full glass of water.

Each Urispas 200 mg Tablet provides 200 mg of flavoxate per tablet.
