Are Azo and Pyridium the Same?

Phenazopyridine is a dye that works as a painkiller to soothe the lining of the urinary tract. Phenazopyridine is available under the following different brand names: Azo Standard, Pyridium, Prodium, Pyridiate, Baridium, Uricalm, Urodine, and UTI Relief.

How much Pyridium is in AZO?

With a powerful 99.5mg dose of active ingredient, Phenazopyridine Hydrochloride, it provides maximum strength relief for pain, burning and urgency.

Why can you only take Pyridium for 2 days?

Treatment of a urinary tract infection with Phenazopyridine HCl should not exceed two days because there is a lack of evidence that the combined administration of Phenazopyridine HCl and an antibacterial provides greater benefit than administration of the antibacterial alone after two days.
