Pyridine 100mg Tablet

Pyridine 100mg Tablet, made by Valor Pharmaceuticals, is a urinary tract pain reliever. Its active ingredient is Phenazopyridine 100mg, and it is used for burning and pain when passing urine. Pack size: 1×1 tablet.

Uses of Pyridine 100mg Tablet

Pyridine 100mg Tablet is used for short-term relief of burning, pain, urgency and frequent urination caused by irritation of the lower urinary tract, for example from a urinary tract infection, a procedure such as catheterisation, or surgery. It only eases the symptoms and does not treat infection, so it is usually used alongside an antibiotic when an infection is present.

How Pyridine 100mg Tablet works

Phenazopyridine is passed out through the kidneys into the urine, where it has a local numbing effect on the lining of the bladder and urethra. This calms the burning and urgency while the underlying cause is being treated. It also gives urine a strong orange-red colour.

Possible side effects

Pyridine 100mg Tablet is used for only a short time, and side effects are usually mild. They include:

• Orange or red urine (harmless)
• Headache
• Stomach upset
• Dizziness
• Itching or rash

Stop taking it and see a doctor if your skin or eyes turn yellow, you pass much less urine, your skin looks bluish, or you develop fever, chills or back pain, which may mean a kidney infection.

Precautions and warnings

• Use it for no more than a couple of days, because longer use can hide a worsening infection; see a doctor if symptoms continue.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease or G6PD deficiency.
• The orange colour can stain underwear and soft contact lenses, and it can interfere with urine dipstick tests, so mention it before any urine test.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before using it.
• Remember that Pyridine 100mg Tablet does not treat infection, so take any prescribed antibiotic for the full course.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
