About Product
Phenazopyridine HCl is a urinary analgesic used to relieve pain, burning, irritation, and discomfort caused by urinary tract infections (UTIs) or surgery. It works by exerting a local anesthetic effect on the urinary tract lining, providing rapid symptom relief. Although it does not treat the infection itself, it is commonly used alongside antibiotics for UTI management. Phenazopyridine is available in tablet form and is known for causing orange or red discoloration of urine as a harmless side effect.
