For best results, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. They may adjust your dosage based on your individual needs and response to treatment.
- Important Note: Phenazopyridine only treats symptoms, not the underlying infection. You will need antibiotics or other appropriate treatment prescribed by a doctor to address the cause of your urinary tract infection (UTI). Medication Duration: Typically, phenazopyridine should be taken for no more than two days. Extended use can cause damage to the blood and kidneys. Potential Side Effects: Be aware of potential side effects such as orange-red urine discoloration, which is normal. However, report any other side effects such as allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing) immediately to your doctor.
Before starting phenazopyridine, inform your doctor about any existing health conditions, especially kidney or liver problems. Also, disclose all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Always check the label for correct dosage instructions. Store tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and light. Keep medication out of reach of children.
If you have questions about your medication, consult your pharmacist or physician. This information is for guidance only, and does not replace professional medical advice.
