Floxros 20mg Capsule belongs to the class of drugs called antimuscarinics used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. Overactive bladder is a problem with bladder function that causes a sudden urge to urinate. Overactive bladder symptoms include frequent urination, involuntary loss of urine, an urgent and uncontrollable need to urinate, or bedwetting.

Floxros 20mg Capsule contains Trospium which works by blocking muscarinic receptors on the surface of muscle cells and inhibits the action of acetylcholine (a chemical messenger) that causes contraction of the bladder muscle. Thereby, Floxros 20mg Capsule relaxes the involuntary muscle (detrusor) in the bladder wall and reduces unstable and involuntary contractions of the bladder, and increases the bladder's capacity to hold urine. Thus, it decreases the need to urinate.

Overactive bladder: It is a problem with bladder function that causes a sudden urge to urinate. An overactive bladder causes bladder muscles' involuntary contractions, giving the sensation of an urge to urinate frequently even if the bladder is not full. It mostly occurs in women than in men. An overactive bladder in men may be due to an enlarged prostate gland as it blocks urine flow. Overactive bladder may be caused due to urinary tract infections, drinking too many fluids, bladder stones, taking medicines that increase urine production, alcohol consumption, caffeine or other bladder irritants, or failure to empty the bladder. Overactive bladder symptoms include frequent urination (more than 8 times a day), involuntary loss of urine, an urgent and uncontrollable need to urinate, or bedwetting.
