• Generic Name: phenazopyridine
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: AZO Urinary Pain Relief, Azo-Gesic, Azo-Standard, Baridium, Prodium, Pyridium, Re-Azo, Uricalm, Viridium, Eridium, Pyridiate, Urogesic, Phenazo, Urodol, Urinary Analgesic, Uristat, AZO Urinary Pain Relief Max Strength

Symptomatic relief of pain, burning, urgency, frequency, and other discomforts resulting from irritation of the lower urinary tract mucosa caused by infection, trauma, surgery, endoscopic procedures, or the passage of sounds or catheters.

Use should not delay definitive diagnosis and treatment of cause; not a substitute for specific surgery or anti-infective therapy.

Used in combination with appropriate anti-infective agents for initial treatment (first 2 days) of uncomplicated urinary tract infections when pain, burning, or urgency relief is needed. However, there is lack of evidence that such combinations provide greater benefit than an anti-infective agent alone after 2 days; continue treatment after 2 days with anti-infective agent alone.

Also may be used for self-medication for the symptomatic relief of minor pain, urgency, frequency, and burning on urination.

• Generic Name: metformin / repaglinide
• Dosage Forms: tablet
• Other Brand Names: PrandiMet

PrandiMet contains a combination of metformin and repaglinide. Metformin and repaglinide are both oral diabetes medicines that help control blood sugar levels. Repaglinide works by causing the pancreas to produce insulin. Metformin works by decreasing glucose (sugar) production in the liver and decreasing absorption of glucose by the intestines.

PrandiMet is used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

PrandiMet is not for treating type 1 diabetes.
