Joxate-O Tablet Substitute

Joxate-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.

Joxate-O Tablet may cause stomach upset as a side-effect. To avoid this, take Joxate-O Tablet with food.

Avoid drinking tea, coffee (caffeinated drinks), and carbonated beverages as they might increase the urine flow and cause worsening of symptoms.
