Uses
Urinary tract analgesic for relief of urinary pain, burning, urgency and frequency associated with urinary tract infections. It relieves symptoms only. It is not an antibiotic and does not treat the infection. Call your doctor for a diagnosis and, if needed, a prescription; AZO can help while you wait.
