"I just started this medication for painful symptoms of interstitial cystitis. I suffer from bladder spasms, aching, pain while urinating, and frequent urges to urinate. After several days on the medication, my symptoms are practically gone. I actually feel like a normal person again. I went off the medication for a day, and the next morning I woke up with the pain once again. After trying to make it through the day, I started back on Uribel that evening. After several doses, the symptoms eased once again."

"I was prescribed Urelle for my interstitial cystitis flares, which definitely helped, but my co-pay after insurance was still $200 a month. A new urologist prescribed generic hyophen (which contains the main ingredient in Urelle), and now I only pay $4. It works very well for the pain and urgency of IC. It doesn't take it all away, but nothing does. This makes the difference between being curled up on the floor with a heating pad crying and begging my doctor for narcotics, or being able to go about my daily life at least. It definitely works better than pyridium, and while it does turn your urine bright blue, it doesn't stain your skin and clothing like pyridium. It can take a few hours and several doses before it really gets the pain under control for me though."

"I developed very sudden urges and discomfort, which I thought was a UTI. After many cultures and a negative diagnosis, it took 5 months of sheer misery for anyone to tell me I might have IC. I am in my 60s, this was all new for me. The spasms and urgency are through the roof, yet no infection is present. Without Uribel, my life would be unmanageable. As it is, I still can't leave the house too often, but Uribel takes away a lot of the discomfort. I have no idea how or why this happened to me, but at least this medication makes life a little more bearable. The only problem that it may present is that I have developed an inflammation in the pubic/vaginal area that may be an allergy to this medication. Tests show nothing but inflammation."

"Nothing worked for my interstitial cystitis until I found Uribel. It saved my life! I was to the point of wearing adult diapers and taking pain meds just to get out of bed. I was running to the bathroom every 15 minutes in pain. With Uribel, my life is 100% normal. I can go 6 hours without going to the bathroom (I teach). Why is it so hard to find it?"

"Prescribed Uribel for bladder pain. Symptoms initially improved but then returned along with side effects. Headache, difficulty passing urine, and just feeling sick. Felt a lot better after I stopped taking it and got it flushed out of my system. Probably would have felt better if I just ate the money I spent on this chem."

"This is the only thing that relieves painful blockages and severe pain, as well as lowering high blood pressure sometimes caused by kidney stones. I have found nurses and ER doctors at several emergency rooms and hospitals are not familiar with this drug, so I make sure I have several pills on hand at all times. This may have saved my life last summer when nurses misread my doctor's instructions and would not give me any during a severe kidney stone crisis. My blood pressure was off the charts. If I had not walked out and gone home to take this, I might not be here. My doctor had gone out of town, and he was horrified."

"I was put on Uribel for urethral trauma from using a menstrual cup. Not only did it NOT work, but it caused my urethra to start burning, and I got headaches along with a dry throat. My urethra originally only felt like I had to go a lot. But Uribel made it burn and not able to empty my bladder completely. I had to stop taking it."

"I am on Medicare disability and have a supplemental RX program. I have worked Med since I was 15-41 until I was forced to disability. I also have double scoliosis, and I had surgery in Boston, Mass., to add rods in my spine, hips, and pelvic area. I paid over $4,000 in 2015 because this drug is not covered and costing me $200 a month! I cannot afford it, and I have to have it! Help me, please! I have 2 children and a grandson I can't see due to my RX cost per month!"

"I only used the liquid drops. I purchased Jab Labs' Methylene Blue. Based on the dosage info on the bottle, which was not a recommendation, I went with ten drops or the dropper capacity. You cannot put more than that into the dropper at any time. It has a safety mechanism to open the bottle, and the bulb on the dropper is small. It is pretty nasty if you get it on your tongue. It turns everything it touches a bold and permanent blue. It's best if you tilt your head back and let the drops hit the back of your throat. The dye has to wear off. It worked after two times using the ten-drop method 12 hours apart. 8 hours after the two doses, I was UTI free. I did get nauseous with the second dose. It might be because I had taken my nightly meds prior to dosing. I'm pretty satisfied with the results."

"Dry mouth, headache, unusual taste in my mouth. Dryness in throat, nausea. Persistent urinary tract infections in addition to one occurrence of probable pyelonephritis following catheterization during total knee replacement in May 2015. No problems during initial hospitalization. UTIs began immediately following 7 weeks in rehab and were not treated properly."

"I have interstitial cystitis. I have taken hyophen on three separate occasions (1-4 days at a time), and it only helped once. My bladder felt painfully full even immediately after urinating, and it helped the second time I took it for a few days before my bladder calmed down. The other two times, it did nothing. Very similar symptoms but no relief. I don't understand and just want some help."
