Azo-Standard is used to treat urinary symptoms such as pain or burning, increased urination, and increased urge to urinate. These symptoms can be caused by infection, injury, surgery, catheter, or other conditions that irritate the bladder.

AZO Urinary Tract Defense contains methenamine to help control the infection until you can seek medical treatment and sodium salicylate to provide general pain relief. AZO Urinary Pain Relief contains phenazopyridine hydrochloride which provides fast, targeted relief for pain, burning and urgency associated with a UTI.

Azo really helps stop the pain and frequent urge to use the bathroom until you can get to your doctor for antibiotics. Occasionally I'll use Azo and cranberry juice to help stop a UTI that I feel is still in its early stages. Although I hate the taste, I do recommend Azo to anyone who's suffering with a UTI.

You should not use AZO Urinary Pain Relief if you are allergic to it, or if you have kidney disease. To make sure AZO Urinary Pain Relief is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have: liver disease; diabetes; or.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. This is not a complete list of possible side effects.

The main reason AZO is only recommended for such a short period of time is that it can mask the symptoms of a worsening infection. After about 2 days of taking an antibiotic, you should be getting enough symptom relief that you no longer need to take AZO.
