I am a registered nurse and just wanted to let everyone know this can be purchased over-the-counter (around 5 bucks). The only difference between OTC and prescription is the stregnth; 95mg versus 200mg. Most people can treat the symptoms with this medication and within 48 hours the infection is gone without use of an antibiotic. Lots of fluids meaning water and cranberry juice in the 48 hour win...

I had cystitis and urethritis and was prescribed this...it did help with pain relief....but please be forewarned that this is not something to be consumed by a great amount of people due to side effects. The only thing the urologist said was that it was a dye to eleviate pain and discomfort. I am anemic and this worsened my anemia...after research on the internet I saw that it causes hemolytic anemia which when already suffering from a blood disorder can be very dangerous. People with anxiety etc can suffer more effects as well :(Read More Read Less

I'm still waiting for this medication to work no relief yet. I had to take other pain medications for relief. The urges are still frequent. UGH!

Made me very nauseated and dizzy. Did not help with the pain. Even when it was OBVIOUS (bright orange) that it was in the bladder, the pain was still horrible. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I've only used this medication twice and I'm very satisfied. No side effects. Stopped the pain almost immediately. I also drink cranberry juice with it.

I suffer from chronic UTIs and this medicine doesn't really do much at all to relieve any discomfort. Aside from turning my urine a bright orange, I don't notice any difference when taking it.

I have used this medication sinceI was 15 and never had any bad side effects. I have Very painful UTI's and without this I could not have stood the pain.I have taken it from 3-8 days straight 3-4 times a day according to how bad the pain was. I would have UTI's every 2 weeks for 15 yrs. I am glad this Med is available because now I have pain twice as bad with no infections and no reason can be found for the pain. I take this and drink 8-10 bottles of water when the pain hits. It takes 5-6 hrs to calm the pain down but once I can get this to kick in the pain will finally stop. This is not your normal urinary type problem so This Medication Works wonders. Read More Read Less

On a scale from 1 to 10, the pain was a 40. After taking only 3 pills, all pain vanished. Little dizzy when standing up but it beats being bent over in pain and screaming! Love this product

Almost immediate relief from pain of uti. Very slight nausea and fatigue, could have been from the antibiotic I was also taking. Really does turn urine a bright shade of orange.
