Chemically, flavoxate hydrochloride is 2-piperidinoethyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-8-carboxylate hydrochloride. The empirical formula of flavoxate hydrochloride is C24H25NO4•HCl. The molecular weight is 427.94. The structural formula appears below:

Flavoxate HCl is supplied in tablets for oral administration. Each round, white, film-coated Flavoxate HCl tablet is debossed "PAD" and "0115" on one side and plain on the other side and contains flavoxate hydrochloride, 100 mg. Inactive ingredients consist of colloidal silicon dioxide, ethyl acrylate, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, methyl methacrylate, microcrystalline cellulose, nonoxynol 100 and sodium starch glycolate. Film coating is composed of hypromellose 2910 6cP and polyethylene glycol.

Clinical Pharmacology


Flavoxate hydrochloride counteracts smooth muscle spasm of the urinary tract and exerts its effect directly on the muscle.

In a single study of 11 normal male subjects, the time to onset of action was 55 minutes. The peak effect was observed at 112 minutes. 57% of the flavoxate HCl was excreted in the urine within 24 hours.

Indications And Usage


Flavoxate HCl tablets are indicated for symptomatic relief of dysuria, urgency, nocturia, suprapubic pain, frequency and incontinence as may occur in cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, urethrocystitis/urethrotrigonitis. Flavoxate HCl tablets are not indicated for definitive treatment, but are compatible with drugs used for the treatment of urinary tract infections.

Contraindications


Flavoxate HCl tablets are contraindicated in patients who have any of the following obstructive conditions: pyloric or duodenal obstruction, obstructive intestinal lesions or ileus, achalasia, gastrointestinal hemorrhage and obstructive uropathies of the lower urinary tract.

Warnings

Precautions


Information for Patients:


Patients should be informed that if drowsiness and blurred vision occur, they should not operate a motor vehicle or machinery or participate in activities where alertness is required.

Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility:


Mutagenicity studies and long-term studies in animals to determine the carcinogenic potential of flavoxate HCl have not been performed.

Pregnancy:


Teratogenic Effects-Pregnancy Category B.

Reproduction studies have been performed in rats and rabbits at doses up to 34 times the human dose and revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to flavoxate HCl. There are, however, no well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Nursing Mothers:


It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when flavoxate HCl is administered to a nursing woman.

Pediatric Use:


Safety and effectiveness in children below the age of 12 years have not been established.
