Pyridium (phenazopyridine) for Interstitial Cystitis: This medicine is the best - fast acting and relieves pain, spasms associated with urinary tract infections. Highly recommend it.

Uricalm (phenazopyridine) for Dysuria: I researched OTC medicines for urinary tract infection last night when I was very uncomfortable with symptoms and had not been able to get to the Dr. The previous night I could not sleep due to excessive urgency after already emptying my bladder. At 9:30PM I decided to get to the pharmacy to find this medication or something similar. I was skeptical but amazed after taking 2 tabs as directed at 10:00PM I was able to sleep all night comfortably. I did as the medication instructed and contacted my Dr. today. All I wanted was to get through the night and it really worked! It works so well but don't be fooled that you don't need to see a Doctor. It will not cure the infection.

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) for Interstitial Cystitis: This medicine has been a God send for me. If I miss a dose, my pain is severe enough to inhibit normal daily activities. Along with my DSMO treatments, I am slowly feeling better!

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) for Dysuria: The doctor prescribed this along with an antibiotic. I have taken 3 doses as prescribed and have had little relief. I have used the OTC Uristat and had more success.

Uristat (phenazopyridine) for Interstitial Cystitis: My sister is in town trying to find Uristat; she has been to 2 drug stores. No luck. I have used this product for 40 years. Description says does not cure Urinary tract infection. This is a misnomer. This is a wonderful product with no side effects and I am very sensitive to medication. I rate this very, very highly.

Uristat (phenazopyridine) for Interstitial Cystitis: Definitely helped, pain-wise. It wasn't a cure all for the pain, but definitely lessened it.

Uricalm (phenazopyridine): Great medication. Works fast and lasts all day long as long as you drink cranberry juice or water. Much better than AZO.

phenazopyridine for Interstitial Cystitis: I find this drug to be exceptionally helpful. I can go on trips and not have to worry about finding a bathroom. I can wait 3-4 hours between bathroom breaks.

Uristat (phenazopyridine) for Dysuria: Having high sugar levels, I tend to get urinary tract infections more than others. Not having Health Insurance I found myself having to wait until payday to make it to a doctor. I have used uristat in the past and found it to work wonders so I used it again. It is not a substitute for an antibiotic but it will help. Follow package directions to avoid upset stomach.

Azo-Standard (phenazopyridine) for Dysuria: Azo is an awesome product for urinary tract infections that come on all of a sudden. It's been a God send for me on two occasions. The first time I used it was a year ago when I had a bad burning sensation from a bubble bath product I was allergic to. Then recently I woke up on a Sunday with a terrible urinary tract infection. Without this product I would have been in screaming pain until I got to the doctor.

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) for Interstitial Cystitis: When taking this medication I developed a fever, reddening of the eyes even more pain and I wasn't able to hold anything down which ended up in a prolonged stay in the hospital.

phenazopyridine for Interstitial Cystitis: When the pain of interstitial cystitis hits, it's awful. One or two doses of this fantastic medicine always either eliminates the pain or makes it barely noticeable. I don't need it daily. But when I do need it, I want it on hand. It's the best thing I can find and that I trust for the pain of interstitial cystitis. Also, I consider it safe and it has no side effects.

I'm 42 and have never had bladder infection before. This medication worked exactly as prescribed, relieved the pain within hours. Minor discomfort still there but the pain is mostly gone.

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) for Dysuria: This is a magical medicine! Had a very bad bladder infection and couldn't get out of the bathroom! After 2 doses I had COMPLETE relief! Turns your urine highlighter orange but it's so worth it! I don't know how I ever got through a urinary tract infection without it!
