Phenazopyridine "I had a UTI, and it helped with my pain but only brought on terrible back pain. It hurt so bad I couldn't breathe or move, it was worse than the UTI pain. Let's just say after one day they are in the trash, and I embrace UTI pain. Worst product ever."

"It did alleviate my pain but not my urgency. The side effect is just about unbearable. I am partially incontinent due to the cancer treatment I am receiving. Just a drop of this bright orange dye on clothing, carpet, or anywhere does permanent damage. Everyone gets a urine spot in their underwear occasionally. With this product, get ready to spend lots on cleaning and ruined clothes."

"First dose was early afternoon, 2nd dose was at 7 pm. Dosage is 1-100 mg tablet after a meal 3 times a day for 2 days. Woke from a bad dream. Have tried to go back to sleep several times, but the dream reoccurs."

"Do not take this medicine. Doctors and pharmacists do not tell you the extent of side effects. A small warning suggests that it may turn your urine orange. It does not say the color of your urine will look like you are bleeding out. Nor does it say it will stain and ruin the porcelain in your toilet. Outrageous that this medicine is even on the market."

Phenazopyridine "Just don't mistake Uricalm Intensive for Uricalm! I grabbed the box in a rush, and when I got home, phenazopyridine, the ingredient that stops the burning and pain, is not in the Intensive."

Phenazopyridine "Within 12 hrs, I went from having a little pain at the tail end of urinating to full-on feeling like I have to pee 24/7 and intense pain when urinating - with blood. So I did a telehealth visit so I could get antibiotics ASAP. When I went to pick up my antibiotics, I also picked up Uricalm. I thought it would help with symptoms. It didn’t help at all. I've waited 45 min, and nothing but neon pee."
