Why is this medication prescribed?
Flavoxate is used to relieve painful, frequent, or nighttime urination and urgency that may occur with infections of the prostate, bladder, or kidneys. The drug works by relaxing the muscles involved with urination. However, flavoxate is not an antibiotic; it does not cure infections.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
