You need to talk to a Pharmacist or your GP/Practice Nurse!  Buying unknown medication from the internet is DANGEROUS as we really cannot know if it's been tampered with.

It seems to be used for the relief of pain from cystitis or trauma to the bladder or urethra - is this what you are going to use it for Tingly? There is a lot about the actual dug here http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm'setid=4f9ddc5b-2cb2-4556-b8ca-32a0283fce79   

I wouldn't use it without consulting a GP to be honest. What are your symptoms?

Good point both
I still am suffering from burning urethrs which may or may not be from the vaginal atrophy
I was onlymlooking to take it if it all falres up again
My vaginal aching has gone and most of my bladder ache
Am on end of third weekmof vagifem and hoping it all goes... Suppose i got these just in case, but on second thoughts i think your right

So in the meantime, have a chat with a Pharmacist?

Yes, I have used Azo and it's great. I asked my consultant urologist if it was safe to use and she said yes. I have had IC/painful bladder syndrome which seemed to come on with vaginal atrophy at menopause. Azo is great for getting rid of pain from a flare, though I wouldn't use it continuously unless recommended by a doctor.

Tingly, if what you are talking about is the same as I stuff I was prescribed in Mexico many years ago (1989 to be precise) for an irritable bladder problem then it is brilliant - it was a life saver for me after taking just one tablet.  In my case, the problem was caused by using a diaphragm with gel for contraception purposes and it was sheer hell, I was literally rolling around on the floor of the hotel room all night with acute burning and I was constantly urinating.  The bad news is, once you have an attack of something like that, it can always flare up again.

The brand name is Pirifur or Azuron and it contains Acido Nalidixico 500mg and Clorhidrato de Fenazopiridina 50mg.  Sorry that is the Spanish name for the ingredients but having just checked, I am pretty sure it is the same as the stuff you are taking.  If so, it is the only thing that has ever worked properly for me and I was told it is OK to take it sometimes.  It makes your urine go orange!

Maybe check with a GP or pharmacist first though.
No point in taking any chances.
