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.

Haven't had side effects with pyridium. The first few times I took it, I did not think it did anything. For the particularly difficult UTI, it has been a life saver!

Have taken this medication twice. Both time very bad side effects - nausea, vomiting,etc. The first time I was admitted to the hospital - lost all my internal fluid within 2 hours - very ill. Second time was similar but did not need hospitalization. I think there should be a warning on the lable that includes big time nausea. Will not use this medication again.

i have had 2 UTI's inthe last month. The first antibiotic was leviquin. The second was sulpha. Pyridium was used in conjunction with both. Both time s I had a 3 day migraine headache- it has to be the pyridium. Never again.

It works wonderfully, no pain after the first pill, I just wish they could do something about the nausea. Even eating didn't help.

I had a UTI and was in tears from the pain. I took this medication and in a matter of minutes the pain subsided. It does discolor your urine, but to me it was worth not be in such pain. It wore off after about 4 hours, but by then the antibiotic started working and the pain was not as intense.

I have been treated for interstitial cystitis with this medication and have received some relief. However, more relief was achieved by going on an IC diet and eliminating the source of many irritants.

This medication works wonders. It causes the orange urine which can stain your clothes but I dont care it relieves the burning and pressure so it can turn my urine any color it wants.

I have never taken this medicine before. I took the first dose along with my antibiotic. After the first dose, in the AM or the next day I had to call the rescue since I had nausea, my hearbeat was increasing and I had cold sweat and felt I was going to faint. I tried the second dose and I had the same symptoms so before I end up in the ER with an allergic reaction, I stopped taking it. People with antecedents of allegies to other types of medications, should try it first and make sure you don't get a reaction. Read More Read Less

this medication is an overnight miracle. I was in so much pain - nearly bent over before taking it and now I can do all of my daily functions.

I don't know what I would do without this medication. It works within half an hour for me. The orange urine doesn't bother me as long as the pain goes away! I have been using it for frequent urinary tract infections for over 15 years now. I have never had a side effect from it either.

For some odd reason my kidneys hurt like heck when I take it. So I had to either bear the urinary pain or the pain in my kidneys(which was worst than the urinary pain)
