Flavoxate HCl is a drug with a remarkable smooth muscle relaxant activity, selective for the genito-urinary tract. In order to verify its safety the following mutagenic tests have been effected: gene reversion in S. typhimurium, gene conversion and crossing-over on S. cerevisiae 6117, micronucleus test and DNA-repair on B. subtilis. In our experimental conditions, flavoxate HCl was found to be devoid of potential mutagenic activity.

Recent evidence indicates that flavoxate hydrochloride exhibits only weak anticholinergic activity on receptors involved in the control of the lower urinary tract.
