Also known as Urispas®, W-61, beta-piperidinoethyl 3-methylflavone-8-carboxylate, 2-(1-piperidinyl)ethyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromene-8-carboxylate, 2-piperidinoethyl 3-methylflavone-8-carboxylate, 2-piperidinoethyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyran-8-carboxylate, beta-Piperidinoethyl 3-methylflavone-8-carboxylate, 2-(1-Piperidinyl)ethyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-2-phenyl-4H-chromene-8-carboxylate

Flavoxate is an anticholinergic with antimuscarinic effects. Its muscle relaxant properties may be due to a direct action on the smooth muscle rather than by antagonizing muscarinic receptors.
