About Flavocip 200Mg Tablet

This medication is mainly used as a smooth muscle relaxant. It has anticholinergic and antispasmodic properties. It helps control urinary incontinence, nocturia, and dysuria and stimulates muscle contractions in the bladder for patients who suffer from discomfort and pain during urination.

This medication works by binding to and inhibiting muscarinic receptors. This modifies the micturition center in the brain. It leads to suppression of the micturition reflex and an increase in the capacity of the urinary bladder.

This also stimulates the pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein-coupled receptors. It inhibits the formation of cyclic AMP which results in the suppression of isovolumetric urinary bladder contractions.
