Phenazopyridine is an over-the-counter medication predominantly used to alleviate lower urinary tract discomfort caused by infection, injury, or surgical procedures. As a urinary tract analgesic, Phenazopyridine works specifically to target urinary tract lining, effectively relieving pain, burning, urgency, and frequency. However, it does not treat the actual cause of the UTI and is most effective when used in conjunction with an antibiotic.
