Phenazopyridine

Phenazopyridine 100mg

Phenazopyridine is a urinary analgesic that provides relief from pain, burning, and discomfort associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other urinary tract irritations. It works by exerting a soothing effect on the lining of the urinary tract, helping to alleviate symptoms such as urgency and frequency of urination. While it effectively eases symptoms, Phenazopyridine does not treat the underlying infection and is often used in conjunction with antibiotics for comprehensive UTI management.

Description

Phenazopyridine is an analgesic medication specifically used to relieve pain, burning, and discomfort in the urinary tract. By acting directly on the urinary tract lining, it helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs), inflammation, or irritation.

Uses / Indications

  • Alleviation of burning and urgency while urinating
  • Management of discomfort due to surgical procedures or urinary tract inflammation
  • Treatment for interstitial cystitis-related symptoms
  • Soothing effects on urinary tract irritation

Dosage and Administration

Adults:
200 mg three times daily after meals (usually taken for up to 2 days).

Children (over 6 years):
Dosage is generally based on weight, and should be determined by a healthcare provider.

Note: Dosage may vary based on medical condition or doctor’s advice.

How It Works (Mechanism of Action)

Phenazopyridine works by exerting a local analgesic effect on the mucosa of the urinary tract, thereby relieving the pain and discomfort associated with irritation. It is not an antibiotic and does not treat the underlying cause of urinary tract infections.
