FAQs
How long does it take for Flochek 4mg Capsule to show its effect?
Your symptoms may start improving within 1 week of starting Flochek 4mg Capsule. Maximum benefits may be seen after 5-8 weeks of treatment. To maintain this improvement, your doctor may prescribe this medicine to you for a long term of up to 24 months.
What class of drug is Flochek 4mg Capsule? Is it a diuretic?
Flochek 4mg Capsule belongs to a class of medicines known as muscarinic receptor blockers. Flochek 4mg Capsule is not a diuretic, it is a urinary antispasmodic. This means that it relaxes the urinary bladder, decreasing spasm of the bladder wall. This further provides better control upon the release of urine and also increases storage volume of the bladder.

It should also be avoided by patients who have any muscle disease which causes drooping eyelids, double vision, difficulty in speaking and swallowing, and sometimes muscle weakness in the arms or legs (myasthenia gravis).
