• 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.

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer.

Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant. It affects the signals in the brain that trigger cough reflex.

Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.

Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

Sudafed PE Cold & Cough is a combination medicine used to treat headache, fever, body aches, cough, chest congestion, stuffy nose, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Sudafed PE Cold & Cough will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.
