Pharmacist Recommended Products for Urinary discomfort and incontinence.
Urinary discomfort or painful urination can be managed with phenazopyridine, acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Oxytrol® For Women can help with overactive bladder.
​
-
Use phenazopyridine products (AZO®, Uristat®) only for short-term relief and always follow up with a doctor if a UTI is suspected.
-
Choose cranberry supplements for long-term urinary wellness, not immediate relief.
-
For bladder control issues, consider AZO® Bladder Control or Oxytrol® patches.
-
See a doctor if symptoms last more than 3 days, worsen, or are accompanied by fever, back pain, or blood in the urine.
