Uribel Capsules: Relief for Urinary Tract Symptoms
Uribel capsules are designed to alleviate the discomfort, pain, and frequent urge to urinate caused by urinary tract infections or diagnostic procedures. Each capsule contains a combination of methenamine, sodium phosphate, phenyl salicylate, methylene blue, and hyoscyamine sulfate. Methenamine works as an antibacterial agent, while sodium phosphate helps maintain an acidic urine pH to enhance methenamine’s effectiveness. Phenyl salicylate acts as a pain reliever, similar to aspirin. Methylene blue has antiseptic properties and helps prevent bacterial growth in the urine. Hyoscyamine sulfate relaxes the muscles of the urinary tract, providing relief from cramps and spasms.
How to Use Uribel Capsules
Take Uribel capsules by mouth, usually four times a day, with a full glass of water (8 ounces). Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking the medication. If you experience stomach upset, you can take the capsules with food. It is essential to drink plenty of fluids while using Uribel to help your body process the medication effectively.
Important Precautions
- Allergies: If you are allergic to any of the ingredients, including aspirin or NSAIDs, or belladonna alkaloids, inform your doctor.
- Interactions: Uribel may interact with other medications, such as antacids, antihistamines, and opioid pain relievers. Always consult your pharmacist about potential interactions.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, dizziness, drowsiness, and blurred vision. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Rare but serious side effects include hot/dry/flushed skin, decreased sweating, eye pain, and signs of kidney problems.
When to Consult Your Doctor
Uribel is not recommended for children under 6 years old due to increased sensitivity to side effects. If you have a bacterial infection, your doctor will typically prescribe an antibiotic. Always consult your doctor for more detailed information and to discuss any concerns you may have.
By using Uribel capsules as directed, you can effectively manage the symptoms of urinary tract infections and diagnostic procedures, helping to restore your comfort and well-being.
