【Restricted Class 2 OTC Drug】
**Product Details**
**Features**
Lady Guard Kowa is an over-the-counter medication developed to improve frequent urination and residual urine sensation, with the active ingredient flavoxate hydrochloride.
Frequent urination, such as wanting to go to the bathroom repeatedly during the day or waking up after sleeping to urinate, and the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying even after urination, are caused by an overly sensitive bladder sensation that causes the bladder to feel full. Lady Guard Kowa adjusts bladder function and improves this hypersensitive state, demonstrating excellent effects on urinary troubles such as frequent urination and residual urine sensation.
