This will turn your urine a bright orange color, so wear a pad so you don't stain your clothing. It works very well and greatly relieves the pain of the infection until the antibiotics can kick in.

I have a medical condition (the rare Hereditary Angioedema) that causes an autoimmune response, and have severe inflammation of kidneys, ureter's, bladder, and urethra. I get the burning, severe intractable nausea, and pain with each inflammatory urinary tract attack. My disease causes my kidneys, bladder, and urethra to swell up. Pyridium works to stop the bladder contractions, very frequent urination, and burning and nausea within a few hours for me. These attacks when they involve my urinary tract, last for weeks. Without the medication, I would be sleepless, and completely unable to function. I am so glad it works, and am always so glad when I can stop taking it! Read More Read Less

Why are Doctors not prescribing Pyridium anymore. Every women I know that suffers from Bladder pain, has been taken off of it. It is the only fast relief some of us get. I have been taken off and replaced with Hyoscyamine ER .375 mg. not as effective. I was on Pyrtidium for 25 years for bladder problems. Is there a link to Intercential cystitis? I hv been diagnosed with that and must see a specialist and there are not many urologist who are aware. I had to interview 4Drs. before I found one and had to drive to San Diego,Ca for diagnosis. The pain and treatment is painful. But it mimicked UTI's. I wish I could get Pyridium back.:( Read More Read Less

Wonderful. Used initially for UTI, helped symptoms until antibiotics were used. Burning and UTI gone, but pelvic pain and pain when urinating continued. Doctor said okay to take one or two a day while investigating cause. Been four months now and no diagnosis. This is great for the pain. Every now and then I try to not take it and the pain is overwhelming. No side effects as I can tell, just RELIEF.

After taking this medication for two days, I developed a swelling on my larynx, a visible lump about an inch in diameter, quite scary. Doctor said it was either lymph node or cyst. It disappeared after a few days, thank goodness.

This is an amazing medication!! It completely takes away UTI pain & discomfort within 30 minutes. Works great and last a long time (was told to take 3x a day) Turns your urine dark orange/red, but it is harmless.

I took two pills at intervals prescribed and developed a full body rash and itching that is still with me after 3 days! Only calamine lotion helped. Benadryl helped a bit . Just need to keep drinking water.

It took the pain away, but I have a weak stomach, so I sometimes felt nausea when taking it even with food. Also, my left side of my upper back hurts, so I am wondering if it is a side effect on my kidney.

I have suffered with chronic bladder pain for yrs. Have had several hydradilations. Never given this before. I was diagnosed with a UTI and my Dr. gave me this drug along with anti-biotics. I wish I could take it everyday.

I used this drug last year with UTI and it was great. It really relieved the burning,and feeling of having to "go". But, I just used it again for the same reason and my heart has been racing. So I got on this web site to see if any problems with others. Well many of you have the same problem, it's in the trash right now.
