Used as a urinary tract analgesic to relieve pain, burning, urgency, and discomfort associated with urinary tract infections, surgery, injury, or diagnostic procedures. It acts locally on the urinary tract mucosa to provide symptomatic relief but does not treat the underlying infection. Often prescribed alongside antibiotics during the initial phase of treatment for immediate symptom relief. Its effect is rapid, typically beginning within hours of administration, and it may cause a noticeable reddish-orange discoloration of urine, which is harmless.
