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...
after a UT Infection I took the full course of AZO, I broke out in an all over rash, had shortness of breath, muscle weakness and fatique, irritated eyes, fast heartbeat, swollen lymph nodes, fever and joint pain, allergy headache for 3 weeks.

It took the pain away, but I am so nauseous it is not even funny. I statrted this drug yesterday and all I have done today is vomit. I will continue use because it helped with the pain, but I don't know if it is worth this sick feeling

It makes me nauseous! It also gives me the same achy feeling as other dyes do, such as those used for Cat scans. UGH!

Helped to take away the pain and need to urinate pretty quickly. It helps when I can't get to a doctor right away!

had a very bad UTI/kidney infection, only had to take 2 doses of it and i felt almost 100% the next day. sucks that you cant wear contacts and that it stains, but its definitely worth it. it kicks in very quickly and does what its supposed to without wasting time.

It totally stopped the kicking kidney ache and the urge to urinate and feel finished when finally going. One time I was able to take it and not require antibiotics (more of an inflammation but not an infection "itis"). Another time I needed the antibiotics as I had a full blown Urinary Tract Infection and therefore just the pain easing of this drug was not enough and I needed my doctor to put me on treatment for UTI. There seem to be over the counter versions of this in the drug store but I've never tried and it's the kind of pain you want to get treated right away. One thing though: It totally stained my new torquoise blue bikini bottoms with an orange tinge (I admit it as I had to go in the ocean so I thought who would know... until I got out and yikes!).Read More Read Less

Works great. Just remember to wear a pantyliner so your underwear dont get stains on them.
