Phenazopyridine (Generic Pyridium)

What Is Phenazopyridine?

Phenazopyridine is a pain reliever that can be prescribed or bought over the counter. The drug affects the lower urinary tract and is used to treat painful symptoms in the bladder and urethra. This can be used to relieve pain from infections, injuries, or other forms of irritation of the bladder.

Phenazopyridine is not an antibiotic, and should not be treated as such. It’s not used to treat infections, but rather to relieve the pain that may be being caused by an infection.

How Does Phenazopyridine Work?

As Phenazopyridine is not an antibiotic, it doesn’t directly target the problem or cause of the symptoms. Instead, it acts as a local anesthetic, lining the urinary tract and numbing the sensory nerves in that area. When this happens, while your pain will be relieved, you should know that the condition is not being treated – but you are just more numb to the symptoms. Patients may feel less irritation and burning when urinating as a result.

What Is Phenazopyridine Used For?

Patients will typically be prescribed Phenazopyridine if they are experiencing pain, irritation, or burning in their urinary tract. Pain that is caused by urinary tract infections, surgery, injuries, or other conditions can be a difficult symptom, and this drug can help to alleviate the severity of the pain. 

What Are the Side Effects of Phenazopyridine?

The side effects of Phenazopyridine may vary from patient to patient, and may even cause serious or severe symptoms. The common side effects of Phenazopyridine are:

  • Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
  • Experiencing headaches
  • Having an upset stomach
  • Orange or Reddish-Brown Urine

If you experience any of the following side effects, you should stop using Phenazopyridine immediately and get in touch with your doctor:

  • Confusion
  • Fever
  • Loss of appetite
  • Unable to urinate
  • Skin appears blueish in color
  • Swelling or weight gain

If you experience any other form of effects while taking Phenazopyridine, you should be sure to consult your doctor as soon as possible before taking any more medication.

It should be noted that the list of symptoms above is not comprehensive and that other symptoms may appear.

How to Take Phenazopyridine?

If you are prescribed Phenazopyridine, you should make sure to take it as instructed by the doctor. General use for this medication should be taken orally, which will typically done three times per day. 

Phenazopyridine should be taken after each meal, and you should check with your doctor to make sure it’s fine to take with other medications you might be using.

Ensure that you’re only using Phenazopyridine for the duration that your doctor has prescribed or recommended, as taking more might be unnecessary. Generally, if you’re going to self-medicate, you should consult your doctor before usage. 

Your doctor may prescribe you antibiotics to take at the same time as your Phenazopyridine, and you will likely be directed to take these for no more than two days. Your UTI symptoms should clear up within that time unless your symptoms are a result of another condition.
