This will turn your urine a bright orange color, so wear a pad so you don't stain your clothing. It works very well and greatly relieves the pain of the infection until the antibiotics can kick in. Published: November 06, 2007 ::

I seem to have a lot of itching and after taking this Drug three times a day for three days that night I had a fast heart beat. A lot of burning when I urinate. The Itching started with my arms now it's all over my body. Published: January 06, 2008 ::

This was my first UTI. Treatment will turn urine orange-red color, which is normal. I experienced some dizziness but it subsided after the first day. Only take for as long as you are on antibiotic, about 2 or 3 days, which worked very well for me. Published: December 11, 2007 ::

I know when I'm getting a bladder infection. I've lerned over the years to recognize it immediately. First I make an appointment with my Doc andthen go by Pyridium. Works like a charm....only one thing though, I have to double the dose to get the soonest effect. Published: October 08, 2007 ::

I get UTI's a couple of times a year. Sometimes they're so bad I clot and see blood. This really, really helps with the pain. Take your antibiotic to kill the infection, but take this to get rid of the pain. Nothing works this good or this fast! The only side effect I get is nausea...but I can never tell if it's because of the infection, my antibiotic or if it's this drug. Either way, this stuff is amazing at stopping that unbearable pain and the constant urge to go. Published: September 23, 2008 ::

Comment from: JosephMcL, 65-74 Male on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I tried the otc version which I used 5 years ago, and it actually made my burning worse! The urologist gave me an rx for prescription strength which was only slightly better. I note that a product like AZO is 95 mg. and you take two. The rx was for one 200 mg. dose, minutely larger. There is a line in the info sheet which mentions possible hypersensitivity. I seem to have it. I wonder if they changed the dye? Published: March 14, 2008 ::

Comment from: kenzabella, 25-34 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

I got a sudden painful UTI and the doctor prescibed me this medication. He warned me that it would turn my urine dark orange/red, but I was still shocked at HOW orange/red it was. This medication is wonderful as it almost fully took away the pain and burning when urninating. I'm thankful this medication exists! Published: March 12, 2009 ::
