User Reviews for Uribel oral

I have severe pain and frequent urination with my IC. Uribel definitely helps with both, however, if I take more than 2 a day I have severe diarrhea. I also notice that it causes my stomach to swell. I still take it though because these side effects are better than the pain I suffer from.

Works extremely well and I have had no side effects (other than blue / green urine). Not diagnosed with IC but have all of the symptoms. Prior to getting Rx I was taking advil which helped with pain, but not frequency, urgency, bloating, etc. Now all symptoms are taken care of. Take 2 or 3 a day depending on my diet. Have been taking for four months now with no problems.

used to decrease urgency, pain and burning on urinating, after TURP. no side effects other than dry mouth noted.

did nothing for the burning when I urinated useless

I was prescribed uribel for muscle spasms and urgency after a long last urethral infection--while I think it did what it was supposed to do, the side effects were so horrible that I had to discontinue taking it. It gave me a migraine that lasted for two days and I was unable to eat anything without vomiting almost immediately. A couple of days later once it was out of my system I tried taking it again with an anti-nausea medication to take care of the vomiting, and while I noticed that taking both at once allowed me to eat, the uribel also has a direct negative effect on my mood. I thought it was coincidental and that I was just in a bad mood the first day I started taking it, but after discontinuing it for a couple of days and trying again, I noticed my mood immediately shifted to being overly excitable/extremely agitated.Read More Read Less

Bladder infection. I had seizures starting with uncontrollable shaking shortly after taking the second dose of the drug, resulting in an ER visit and IV's to stablize blood chems and a dose of anti-seizure meds.

I was given this by my doctor. I wasn't diagnosed with IC but after doing much of my own research it seems to be the only answer to my problem. This medication works fantastically for me. The burning, pressure, and spasms are completely gone. However, it's 2:30 am right now & I am unable to sleep because my heart is fluttering & it is difficult for me to take deep breaths. I have serious anxiety right now & I'm wondering if it's because of this medication. Although this medication works fantastic for me, it's not worth losing sleep over. I'm going to call my doctor in the morning & see if there's something else I can get.Read More Read Less

My doctor prescribed this med for my IC. It really worked for my symptoms of bladder pain and frequency. After about two weeks of taking it with my other meds, I was found to have an irregular heartbeat. I had so much chest pain, I thought I was having a heart attack. It woke me up in the middle of the night.

Interstitial cystitis medicine has minor side affects compared to other meds that I've taken

Uribel is my saving grace, allowing me to function with IC. It isn't my only med, but it is the most important one I take. That, and my daily bladder instillations. At first I had side effects that lasted for about 3-4 months... they included terrible bloating and weight gain. After gaining 15lbs I knew Uribel had slowed my metabolism and peristalsis down to the point I was gaining weight. I changed my diet and lost the 15lbs in 2 weeks. The bloating and fullness feeling in my stomach and gut finally eased up after several months. WELL WORTH the wait for it, as I couldn't function without it. Unless you are suffering from adverse/allergic reactions to a drug it is best to give it a few months for your body to adjust and your side effects subside. I have no side effects from Uribel that I can tell anymore. Occasionally I feel full but it's due to me eating too much. :o) I do take hydroxyzine to help with any mild itching for rash I may have from Uribel, but again, MILD. And WELL WORTH it given the freedom Uribel has given me. I currently take Uribel, hydroxyzine, baclofen, hyoscyamine(as needed if in major flare), flonase, pseudophedrine, probiotics, calcium carbonate w/vit D, and my bladder instillations which contains.. marcaine, heparin, and gentamycin.

I had horrible dry mouth and had to pee every half hour. Once medication was out of my system the dry mouth went away.I was put on this in conjunction with 60 mg of Sanctura xr. not sure if it was the combo or not.

Excellent relief in an hour for interstitial cystitis. Only need one a day!

this drug as allowed me to have the freedom to do wht it takes to live daily, the way I want to and do the things i need to,

I began taking Uribel for painful urination. I didn't really feel any relief. After 2 days, I begain having heart flutters and ended up in the ER. Very scary...I would never take this again because I believe this drug caused the problem. I'm a healthy 40 year old and never felt anything like that before.

This drug has worked great. I am very sensitive to various medications and can very easily get heart palpitations, but have not with this. Have had no side affects at all. It was extremely helpful when first getting diagnosed and have depended on it during more that one of my flare-ups since. Don't know what I would do without it.

This is the first time I took Uribel (for UTI) - & I'll never take it again. I was absolutely exhausted, had a massive headache, and couldn't speak clearly. 10 hours after I took the last dose, those symptoms were gone (thankfully).

Finally something that gives relief from my cystitus and the cramping! Tried samples from Dr. but my insurance doesn't cover it and I can't afford it as it is very expensive. Hopefully the insurance will reconsider soon as it is a miracle! Too bad it is so expensive.

causes heart palpitations, dizziness, clouded thought process/inability to think clearly while being medicated. symptoms do improve off of the medication, however seems to treat symptoms more than the cause?

SEEMS TO DIALATE MY PUPILS/NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SIDE EFFECT THAT WILL SUBSIDE OR NOT.
