Pyridium 200mg

Pyridium 200 mg is prescribed to relieve pain, burning, frequency, urgency, and other discomforts resulting from irritation of the mucosa of the lower urinary tract caused by trauma, infection, endoscopic procedures, surgery, or the passage of sounds or catheters. It contains the active ingredient Phenazopyridine, which provides symptomatic relief during the interval before microbial therapy controls the infection. The treatment should not exceed two days because of potential organ damage.
