Pyridium (phenazopyridine) "I've been using Pyridium since I was diagnosed in 2008 and I use it primarily when I'm flaring or have a UTI which is pretty often. It's an amazing anesthetic. It works fast!"

Uricalm (phenazopyridine) "Must amend my last review and say that cranberry juice is not supposed to be for interstitial cystitis. It's for UTI. IC needs more bland type foods and less acidic."
