User Reviews for Pyridium oral

Makes my urine yellow & turns my fingers & hands yellow...I really do not like that..otherwise, it helps my pain..

this medicine caused my wife to be re-admitted into the ER 4 hours after taking it. The doctors told us that if she would have waited another 30 minutes or so, she would have been dead. Allergies to the medicine can cause death.

Help I tried to fill my prescription last night for pyridium and have been told this drug is discontinued with no replacement available. Help what do we use for pain now?

Took it for 5 days on advise of doctor. It took most of the burning pain and irritation away from the urinary tract. The staining of yellow is pretty bad though. It was a big help and relief. Thank you.

this pill works wonders...

after one treatment begain to feel the relief. It did turn my urine yelloworange-red at times depending on the concentration in the urine.

Turned my urine a red color, kinda of weird seeing yourself leak red fluid. Did not help with the hardly at all. Pushing the fluids makes one have to use the bathroom more, and the only seemed to make it burn worse. I wont be taking this medication again.

I was 8 days post-op from a radical prostatectomy and I had severe enough pain after urination that I had to call an aid car. It was determined that my bladder was in a spasm. This drug is a godsend. It worked within 1 hr. after taking it. I don't know how they invented this drug or found out how it worked, but it saved me from any further episodes. it took away the pain that even 2 large doses of Dialaudid could not handle. GOD BLESS THE PERSON WHO DISCOVERED THIS DRUG!!!

This med used to work really well when I was younger I have not had a uti in about two years and now have another one. This time it is not working as well as it has in the past. Pain is decreased but not gone. I also have a splitting headach and am a little itchy but I do not know if it is from this or the sufamethoxazole/trimethoprim-oral. The pyridium used to make me feel normal, it took away all the pain and feeling of having to go.

Just after two hours of taking this medication, I was pain free.

BURNING ,BUT NO INFECTION, INPROVED 100% DOCTOR TOLD ME THIS WAS SOMETIMES USED WITH PATIENTS WHO WERE DIABETIC.I AM GREATFUL SHE PERCRIBED THIS FOR ME.IT HAS HELPED ALOTE.

Was prescribed this medication for releif of UTI alon with Cipro. Helped to releive the spasms of the bladder (frequency) but did nothing to releive the pain during and after urination. **Must note that the pain did let up a bit on the second day of being on it, but that could also be because of the anitbiotics kicking into gear. Hope this helps:)

I use it and it helps with the pain but the symthoms return within a few days. Could there be something else wrong if I continue to have this pain on my left side and in my when I urinate: My back pain wakes me up and I can barely walk to the bathroom every step is painful. But after taking the Pyridium I am good for a couple of days. My Doctor prescribes it to use as needed, the episodes are coming closer together and I am not sure what I should do.

can i drink coffee tea or pop

I use Pyridium to treat irritated bladder from Interstitial Cystitis - effective small ulcers in the bladder like a canker sore in the mouth. Pyridium provides a coating to keep the urine from irritating it and causing pain. My experience is that the brand name drug works better and longer than the generic. I have taken Pyridium daily for nearly 2 years with no side effects beyond the color of my urine and the stained clothing that can result.

Severe Burning pain left almost immediately after 1st use.

Great drug for urinary pain, burning etc. I have endometriosis and believed to be on my bladder....due to pain several times a month, I take this drug and it helps quite a bit. I recommend it for anyone with any type of UTI pain. The discoloration of urine is not a big deal. Although it may stain underwear. Just wear a liner.

I got a sudden painful UTI and the doctor prescibed me this medication. He warned me that it would turn my urine dark orange/red, but I was still shocked at HOW orange/red it was. This medication is wonderful as it almost fully took away the pain and burning when urninating. I'm thankful this medication exists!

I was given this at the emergency room upon learning I had a UTI. Urination was painful and frequent. They did forwarn it would turn the urine a orange/reddish color. As well as warning not to wear my contact lenses as it could stain them. However, the slight orangish tint in my eyes was quite a suprise. This is my 3rd and final day taking this med. I noticed I have slight pain urinating again and hope it stops soon. Drink plenty of water and cranberry juice! Hope you find this helpful.
