Will UTI Pain Relief change the color of my urine?Updated 6 hours ago
Don't worry, this is completely normal! Phenazopyridine, the active ingredient in the pain relief tablet, is a medicine that naturally has an orange color. Since this orange medicine targets your bladder for pain relief, it gives your urine a bright orange or reddish tint. There is no dye or color added to the medication; it's simply your body processing the organic molecule phenazopyridine.
The color will go away once you stop taking the tablets. The one thing to watch out for: it can stain underwear, clothing, and even your toilet seat, so wash it off quickly if it splashes on anything. The orange color is temporary and totally harmless, but good to know ahead of time.
