PHENAZOPYRIDINE - ORAL

USER REVIEWS

Comment from: Tiggy 55-64 Female 10 years or more Patient Published: November 07

This is a popular tx in other countries, but doesn't seem to be used in Canada for some reason. I have used Phenazopyridine for years when I have a bladder irritation that I know is not due to a bacterial infection. Relieves symptoms within 12 hours.

I have taken a dose of 200mg 3 times a day. It has settled the uncomfortable feelings associated with my urinary tract. I have been very satisfied with the medication except for the diarrhea.

I'm 71 now and when I was a teenager seemed like I had problems often with the burning and hard to urinate. Now I read others reviews and see that some people do not know that Azo is over the counter and available at local stores. Now I had the want to go but can't again and this has already helped. Not as strong as the prescription was years ago, but thank the Lord I found it again! Glad to know it is the same thing!

Comment from: UTIchick 45-54 Female less than 1 month Patient Published: November 17

I am a chronic UTI sufferer and can't believe how long it took me to discover this treatment. It is truly a life transforming medication. 30 minutes until relief when sometimes it has taken me 8 hours of suffering before I can function - even though I always have Cipro right at my fingertips so I can take it the minute I have a hint of UTI.

Comment from: Kidney stone sufferer 35-44 Female less than 1 month Patient Published: January 04

I have a stent currently in place waiting for a large kidney stone to be treated. I was suffering greatly from both of these, and going to the bathroom was extremely painful and frequent (30 times a day). It was used for me to ease the bladder spasms and give me some relief from an infection caused by the stent. Helped me greatly except I got dizzy and headaches from it.

I had a terrible allergic reaction. Fortunately, I was already on Prednisone for another problem and popped two Benadryls and rushed to the hospital. My eyes were swelling shut, as was my throat. I'm allergic to Sulfa but I was assured there was none in this drug. If you have allergies, be very wary of this drug.

I've been treated for two urinary tract infections so far and these little pills have done NOTHING for me. Both times my doctor said it would help with the pain while the antibiotics did their job, but the pain was ever-present. All this medication did was turn my pee orange. The pain only dissipated after the infection was over.

I had a severe UTI. I was given Pyridium to ease the pain while waiting for the anti-biotics to start working. It started working quickly, was effective, and I did not have any negative side effects.

I have interstitial cystitis. My doctor prescribed this to help relive symptoms between procedures. I'm sure that for some, this medication can be helpful, but for me, it does nothing to help my symptoms. In addition, my heart races; I get chills; and my face, neck, and check break out in a rash. Definitely not worth it!
