Description

Cystalgon is an oral tablet manufactured by Pacific Pharmaceuticals, combining Flavoxate Hydrochloride B.P. 200mg with Propyphenazone B.P. 250mg in each tablet, supplied in a pack of 30 tablets. Flavoxate Hydrochloride acts as an antispasmodic, working directly on the smooth muscle of the urinary tract to ease involuntary bladder contractions and reduce the sense of urgency and irritation that often accompanies bladder overactivity. Propyphenazone, a pyrazolone-derivative analgesic, is included to provide pain-relieving and mild antipyretic support, helping address the discomfort and, where relevant, mild fever that can accompany urinary tract irritation. Together, these two components address both the muscular spasm and the associated pain in one combination tablet, making Cystalgon a option often considered for urinary discomfort that involves a noticeable pain component alongside spasm-related urgency.

Ingredients

Each Cystalgon tablet contains two active ingredients: Flavoxate Hydrochloride B.P. at a strength of 200mg, which relaxes bladder smooth muscle, and Propyphenazone B.P. at a strength of 250mg, which contributes pain-relieving action. The tablet also contains conventional pharmaceutical excipients used for binding, compression, and coating, which support the tablet’s physical integrity and shelf stability without adding to its therapeutic effect.

Dosage Form

Cystalgon is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 30 tablets, with each tablet delivering a fixed-dose combination of 200mg Flavoxate Hydrochloride and 250mg Propyphenazone.

Uses

Cystalgon is generally used to relieve symptoms linked to bladder spasm accompanied by pain, such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and a burning or aching sensation in the lower abdominal or pelvic region. It may be prescribed for conditions such as cystitis, urethritis, or other situations where irritation of the urinary tract is causing both muscular spasm and discomfort. As with other urinary symptom medicines, an underlying cause such as infection may require separate or additional treatment, so Cystalgon is typically used as part of a broader, doctor-guided approach rather than as a stand-alone solution.

How to Use

Cystalgon should be taken exactly as directed by a physician, generally with food or a full glass of water to help reduce the likelihood of stomach discomfort. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed unless specifically advised otherwise. The prescribed dose, frequency, and treatment duration should be followed closely, and use should not be extended beyond what has been advised, particularly since Propyphenazone is generally intended for short-term pain relief rather than continuous, long-term use.

Side Effects

Cystalgon may cause side effects in some individuals, including dry mouth, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, or nausea, largely linked to its flavoxate component. The propyphenazone component may occasionally cause stomach discomfort, and in rare cases, allergic-type skin reactions have been associated with pyrazolone-derivative medicines, so anyone with a known sensitivity to this class of drugs should exercise particular caution. Any unusual, severe, or persistent symptoms — including skin rash, swelling, or breathing difficulty — should prompt immediate medical attention.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Cystalgon is generally not recommended during pregnancy unless a doctor determines that the expected benefit clearly outweighs any potential risk to the developing baby. Its use during breastfeeding should also be reviewed with a healthcare provider beforehand, as safety data in this context may be limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to conceive, or currently breastfeeding should inform their doctor before this medicine is prescribed.

Storage Instructions

Cystalgon tablets should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, excess heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use, and store them securely out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date printed on the pack.

FAQs

What makes Cystalgon different from a plain antispasmodic?
Cystalgon combines an antispasmodic (Flavoxate) with a pain reliever (Propyphenazone), addressing both spasm and associated pain together.

Can Cystalgon be used for a urinary tract infection
? It helps ease spasm and pain symptoms but does not treat infection directly, so a doctor may prescribe additional treatment if infection is confirmed.

Is Cystalgon suitable for long-term daily use?
It is generally intended for short-term symptom relief, and prolonged use should only continue under medical guidance.

Who should be cautious about taking Cystalgon?
Individuals with a known sensitivity to pyrazolone-derivative medicines should discuss this with their doctor before starting Cystalgon.
