Hello doctor,
I have interstitial cystitis. Why should one drink lots of water while taking Phenazopyridine?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Phenazopyridine is a drug which is used to treat pain, burning urination, increased urination or increased urge to urinate.
- These symptoms are caused by problems in the lower urinary tract due to infection, injury or any condition that irritated the urinary tract.
- For any infection of the urinary tract, it is advised to keep yourself hydrated as this helps in flushing out the toxin as water is excreted via the urinary tract.
- So, when Phenazopyridine is mixed with water, it is able to reach the tract quickly and it also functions better that way.
For further information consult a urologist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/urologist
