I started taking Pyridium 200mg tablets for my recent UTI, and while they did relieve the pain, I had some questions. This drug is meant to ease the pain and urgency caused by UTIs, but it doesn't treat the infection itself. It works by numbing the lining of the urinary tract. It seems to be commonly prescribed alongside an antibiotic. Has anyone else had this experience? I'm curious about the side effects too—I've read about some serious ones, and even though they're rare, it's a bit worrying. What should we look out for?
