Uro-Pain 95mg Tablets: My Liquid Gold or Devil's Brew? Left me with orange pee and confused, help?
I've been prescribed Uro-Pain 95mg tablets for a UTI. I am now left with a few questions. This is supposed to relieve my pain, but the doctor said it won't treat the infection. It's a dye that can turn urine into a fruity color, she told me. I'm a bit confused. I assumed it was an antibiotic. But it helps with the pain and burning? I tried looking it up, but sites either claim it's good or bad. So I have a few questions. What side effects should I watch out for? Would it be weird if my urine was dark red? Or what if it turned brown? Also, I have a bit of a headache. Should I worry? Anyway, there are so many possibilities here, what else could go wrong? I could really use some real-life experiences and advice, Reddit.
I've had side effects with this medication, had a fever with a rash. Had to go on to the ER, ended up staying for a night. Could have been worse, but it was scary! Root cause was the medication. I had to stop taking it. Just be careful.
This medication is a nightmare. I got it for a UTI and it didn't work. I ended up in the emergency room with a bladder infection. It caused some weird reaction. I got numbness in my arm, and my stomach was killing me. I ended up with a fever, and the ER doc said it was a bad reaction. I had to get antibiotics. Never again.
Uro-Pain is a life saver! It numbs the walls of the urinary tract, which is where the burning and pain comes from. It's not an antibiotic, but it's still important. It won't cure the infection, but it'll keep you from feeling like you're going to die. But be careful. I had a friend who got it and had a rash. She said it was 'weird'. So check out the side effects. Who knows if you're allergic.
Be careful with headaches. Make sure your doc knows about it. You could have a bad reaction; it's rare, but it can happen. You might have methemoglobinemia. It's rare but deadly. You can end up with a seizure, or you might have a blue tongue! Most likely it's just a headache though. I had one after a UTI. So just get better, have a good day.
Dark urine is normal! It's because of the dye in the medication. Same with brown urine. But if it's really dark or you're feeling weird, call your doctor. Better safe than sorry.
How did you end up with a UTI? I've had 3 in the last 6 months. Are you in/affiliated with a healthcare professional? If you're always peeing, you could have an infection. I switched my birth control to avoid it. It helped a lot.
I took it for a week for a UTI and it was a godsend. The burning was terrible and my doctor recommended it to me, but I've also read it's bad. Be careful, but it helped me.
Oh god my pee turned orange, I thought I was dying. Turns out it was just the medication.
Why does this medication give you the runs?
So, if I scan the list of side effects, if I get itchy, or have a headache or diarrhea, is that an urgent side effect?
