Azo-Standard (phenazopyridine) "I found this to be incredibly helpful. I developed a urinary tract infection on a Friday night and had to go to work an hour later. Within an hour of taking AZO, I felt much more comfortable. It can make you feel dizzy. Therefore, I recommend taking the pill with a meal. My minor complaint would be that I found the time it took to kick in and wear off to vary greatly each time I took it. However, totally worth it. Warning: take an antibiotic when you can. AZO will make you feel better, but only temporarily."

Azo Urinary Pain Relief (phenazopyridine) "Azo is normally a godsend for when you have a UTI and you're waiting for antibiotics to kick in. However, it can be dangerous to take more than 2 days in a row. I've had a UTI that for some reason won't go away and I've been taking Azo for a number of days. My red blood cell count is super low, my O2 sats are low, my glucose levels are sky high, and apparently frequent use may cause tumors in the intestines and may increase the risk of bladder cancer. Talk to your doctor about long-term side effects if you need to continue this medication for a longer period of time than normal."

Azo-Standard (phenazopyridine) "My pee is obviously orange. I wore panty liners to prevent staining. Relieved the urgency and burning sensation however after my second dose on both dose I had excruciating episodes of kidney pain. Like instantly dropping to the floor, Not being able to do anything but cry for five to ten minutes until it was over. Nausea and hot flashes also. It served it's purpose but was definitely uncomfortable."

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) "I'm a man with UTI which is much less common than in women. My Dr. tells me that my case is fairly bad and seems surprised that I didn't complain more about the considerable pain while urinating. He prescribed antibiotics to heal the infection and this drug to help with pain and urgent feeling of needing to go. I experienced gut wrenching nearly vomit inducing pain while urinating on this medicine while prior to dosage I was experiencing discomfort to start urine flow but manageable pain that subsided when ending urination. The primary difference with this medication seemed to be more severe pain and less ability to stop it than before I was using the drug. I'll NEVER take another dosage again. Really, really rough for me."

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) "I have ureter stents due to malignant pelvic tumors. I had burning pain at the end of my stream but after a few days on Cipro with no relief, a UTI was ruled out. My urologist put me on Pyridium and I felt better within hours. No side effects except that orange urine!"

Uricalm (phenazopyridine) "I was experiencing early symptoms of a UTI. I felt like I had to go to the bathroom even after I had just been and it was very uncomfortable feeling, I wouldn't say it burned like UTI's usually do, it just felt like I had to go really bad. I got an at home UTI test strip and sure enough I had it. I got the URICALM at my local CVS store in hopes it would give me some kind of relief. I drank a 12oz of cranberry juice and three water bottles with 2 tablets (in 12 hours) and that night I felt 100% better! I was worried I would have to go to the doctor and get on antibiotics but with URICALM that wasn't the case! Very affordable. It comes in a 60 pack and it only took 2 to help me! I would recommend this especially if you are catching it early!"

Azo-Standard (phenazopyridine) "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."

Uricalm (phenazopyridine) "I tried Uricalm for the first time today because I was experiencing major pain and a great sense or urgency to urinate and I kid you not, this stuff works. I am not getting paid to share my opinion but it worked so well I felt I had to inform you all. I wished I had know about this before now. I am extremely pleased. I was in so much discomfort that I couldn't sit or stand without feeling the urgency to urinate. Now I am 90% better. "

Azo Urinary Pain Relief (phenazopyridine) "Took as directed along with antibiotics, Didn't do anything for me. Did not decrease burning sensation, urgency, or pain. My urine came out looking like a radioactive tequila sunrise. Not a repeat purchase for me."

Uristat (phenazopyridine) "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."

"My doctor prescribed this to me for the burning pain and told me I would love it. WRONG!! Not only did it not relieve the pain, I think it made it worse!! Then I bought some Azo Urinary Pain Relief pills and they did the very same thing. It made it feel like razors were coming out of me. So I suffered with the burning pain the whole time and was miserable. This medicine is useless to me and a waste of my money."

"I have suffered with urinary tract infections for many years, and recently was given Urogesic blue, because I heard it worked better, but this works the best for frequency and burning, because it numbs your bladder. I haven't felt normal in a month, but with this medicine it is the most normal I have found in quite a while. I highly recommend it."

Azo-Standard (phenazopyridine) "This was recommended by my doctor to help with abdominal pain I was having because of a UTI. Every time I take this it increases the pain substantially for 30 minutes or more. After that the pain subsides though it's certainly not gone. Time to try some other pain killer."

Uricalm (phenazopyridine) "This OTC medicine was the first to make me stop feeling any pain at all. One day I had to pull over during my commute to use the restroom at a Parkway rest stop. I commute over 60 miles to work every day, and have never had to stop. By 11 AM I was aware I had a UTI. On my way home I purchased this product with no idea what it could do, but my doctor couldn't see me for three more days. Within 30 minutes the constant pain was gone."

Uricalm (phenazopyridine) "I used to take AZO but I heard that Uricalm Max is stronger, so I gave it a try. I was a bit disappointed that Uricalm also causes nausea, because that was my main gripe with AZO. It's not pleasant when you wake up at 5am with the onset pain of a UTI. You just don't have the patience to wait to take the tablets until you have made a meal for yourself and danced around the kitchen trying to eat. But this must be a side effect of all urinary analgesics. I think it takes the same amount of time for the relief to take effect as AZO. Don't let the relief of feeling better lull you into a false belief that your UTI is gone. Go to your doctor for antibiotics, because these tablets only treat the symptoms and will NOT cure UTIs."

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) "I recently took pyridium for the first time and for me it’s a miracle drug! I recently suffered my first full blown UTI and it was extremely painful and uncomfortable. After one dose of pyridium, my symptoms have completely disappeared and I feel back to normal. I am also on an antibiotic to clear up the infection. It took about 3 hours to really start working but 14 hours later the relief is still there. And it’s cheap at the pharmacy. I would recommend anyone give it a try! My pain and urgency are gone and I’m so happy!"

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) "LOVE Pyridium! Nothing else works as well. It is a miracle drug. My kidney was in spasms intense pain from the stones and infection. This product worked like a wonder drug on the pain while the antibiotic did its work."

Azo Urinary Pain Relief (phenazopyridine) "I took the drug and followed Dr.'s instructions. First day I began to have uneasy stomach, and the following day, I vomited food and pill. After four days stopping taking the pill, I'm still having an uneasy stomach. I have had also leg cramps at night. This medicine in not for me."

Pyridium (phenazopyridine) "As everyone knows kidney stones are very painful and very uncomfortable. My doctor prescribed me this medication to help to ease the pain. And it seriously works. I do not like taking pain medication, so I was pleased when I took this and it actually worked."

"Took the medicine last night for the first time. Didn't notice any changes, except that it made me sleepy. This morning I awoke to find that I had a major headache, terrible stomach cramps, all-over body ache and confusion. I would not recommend this product, as it also gave me really weird dreams."

"This didn't make a difference in my symptoms at all. None of my discomfort was relieved. My urine did turn very orange though! I also didn't have any negative reactions to this drug. It was like it didn't really affect me at all. It also cost me nearly $40, which is a lot for something that didn't work."

"I loooooove thiiiis!!! It makes my bladder feel completely numb !!! I was in sooo much pain I felt like I needed to pee every second. I had a UTI from using a feminine wash... which is sooo bad!!! My bladder hurts when I stand, lay, sit, or move around. I felt like I was DYING! Until I took the pill from over the counter which costed me $7 and some cents!! Pretty cheap you get 12 pills and you take 2-3 a day. It turned my pee neon orange and it smelt bad.. yuck! Overall it works super good 100% pain reliever !!! But the only cons is that it makes my inner vagina where the discharge is located super itchy... I recommend washing your vaginal area and the inside every 3-4 hours with just water!"

"Bought azo and it didn't work for me AT ALL. If anything it made it worse! It still burns when I pee and it's really painful and uncomfortable. The only difference this med made was changing the color of my urine to a dark orange looking color."
