"The first time I ever took this, I did not expect any side effects whatsoever from all the reading I did about it. So I was really surprised when I felt incredible fatigue the whole rest of the day, along with terrible muscle pain throughout. A few days later, I tried it again and the same thing happened. Now, after two months, I tried it again and the same exact side effects. I can't find anyone else on the Internet that has mentioned this overwhelming fatigue and pain side effect of this AZO Cranberry. I am not sure why it happened, but I now believe that it's because of it. Hope this helps someone who is looking for the same thing I was."

"I brought these Azo-Cranberry to help prevent UTI, but after two days of taking them, I started to have headaches, dizzy spells, and feeling unwell. Stopped them, and it cleared up. Tried them a week later, and the very same thing. I take no other medications. Sad because I was truly excited about taking them. Hope this helps someone else."

"I started taking Azo, hoping to keep my UTIs at a minimal. I have had upper abdominal pain, pain in my back on both sides, and burning when I urinate. I thought I had a UTI and went to the doctor. No UTI. I have stopped taking this after reading the side effects. Pills went into the garbage."

"I took two of these when I could feel the first twinges of a UTI, and within 20 minutes, I had a headache, tiredness, muscle and joint aches, and a sore throat. I had been completely fine all day before this. I will not be using AZO products anymore, as I think I may be allergic to something in them."

"I began taking this while having a very bad UTI and was taking it to prevent UTIs; however, after reading the comments about reactions, I am stopping immediately. I thought the extreme fatigue, dizziness, headaches, gastro problems, and muscle pain were maybe carryovers from the three UTIs I had in a row since I don't normally have these problems I have listed on a recurring basis. I have many medical problems but not these, which are happening very often. I also began staying awake all night, and when I take my BP, it will be 200+/100+, so I take another BP pill and am able to sleep. I don't know whether this could be related, as I didn't see anyone mention it."

"I had been having a dull pain on the right side of my back. Severe nausea, dizziness, sore throat, bad taste in mouth, confusion, foggy thinking, and anxiety. Well, after 5 days of suffering, I got a COVID test, which came back negative! So, I don't have insurance, therefore, I prayed, and instantly I thought about a UTI. I keep AZO pills on hand and took them immediately because I was hurting real bad, and in less than 10 minutes, all that pain subsided! Glory to God...they worked a miracle!!! Still see a doctor, though...BUT THEY REALLY WORK!!"

"I started this supplement for a bad UTI. I followed the directions and took 2 a day. The first day I took it, I literally didn’t fall asleep until 3:30 a.m., and the next day I took it, I fell asleep at 5:00 a.m. Needless to say, I will never take it again! I read one reviewer who said she was up all night as well."

"I take Azo-Cranberry for the prevention of UTIs. It works for me. I take one pill twice a day with a large glass of water on an empty stomach. If I forget to take it for several days and don’t drink enough water, and drink carbonated beverages, and put off going to the bathroom, I tend to get infections. I do not take supplements through the mail in hot weather because of possible damage to them from heat."

"I get frequent UTIs, my doctor recommended this after my last UTI was cleared up with antibiotics. I take 2 Azo Cranberry gel caps per day, and 1000 mg of a chewable (Nature Made Vit C tab). So far, I feel great! Keeps UTIs from coming back, and drink plenty of water!"

"Taking Azo, it did help with my urinary pain, but no, it does not cure the bacteria that causes the pain. So I decided to see my doctor. The two-dose pill made me feel comfortable after taking it. I personally had no side effects, no fatigue, dizziness, nor nausea."

"I was having issues with UTIs. I started taking Azo-Cranberry. They are the best thing that has helped prevent me from getting any more UTIs. I take them at night, they make me a little sleepy. But it helps me relax, and I feel great in the morning. Thank God for these!"

"Taking 2 pills at a time, I have now realized it causes serious acidic issues in my throat and esophagus. I am going to try taking one to see if this solves the problem."

"The only thing that the Azo-Cranberry has done for me is giving me diarrhea for days!!! I do not recommend this. If you have it, throw it away. It's not worth trying."

"While Azo-Cranberry is good for preventing UTIs, I am concerned about the side effects. I had been taking Azo daily for two years and experiencing dizziness, foggy brain, nerve pain, headaches, tinnitus, and of course, extreme tiredness. I thought at first it was just part of menopause but finally went to the doctor, then neurologist with no relief or suggestions as to why I felt so bad. I finally stopped taking Azo, and within a week, I felt so much better. So no more Azo-Cranberry for me. Someone needs to warn women about these side effects!"
