Flavospas O 200 mg/200 mg Tablet (Ofloxacin 200mg / Flavoxate 200mg)

FLAVOSPAS O TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract (kidney and bladder). FLAVOSPAS O TABLET helps to relieve symptoms which may occur due to the infection such as painful urination, inability to control urine flow, and excessive urination at night. Urinary tract infections are caused by microbes such as bacteria overcoming the body’s defences in the urinary tract. They can affect the kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that run between them.

FLAVOSPAS O TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ofloxacin (quinolone antibiotic) and Flavoxate (anti-spasmodic). Ofloxacin prevents the bacteria from repairing and reproducing themselves, thereby kills the bacteria. Flavoxate relaxes the muscles of the urinary bladder, thereby helps in preventing frequent urination, excessive or uncontrolled urination. FLAVOSPAS O TABLET does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Take FLAVOSPAS O TABLET with or without food. Swallow FLAVOSPAS O TABLET as a whole with water; do not chew, break or crush the tablet. The dose and duration of FLAVOSPAS O TABLET can vary depending upon your condition and severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as FLAVOSPAS O TABLET contains an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, dizziness, and headache. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
