Uropin Tablet Uses

About Uropin Tablet

Uropin Tablet uses include short-term relief of pain, burning, urgency, and frequent urination caused by irritation of the lower urinary tract, such as from a urine infection, surgery, or a catheter. It contains phenazopyridine hydrochloride, which passes into the urine and works as a local painkiller on the lining of the bladder and urinary tract. Use it only under medical supervision because it eases the symptoms but does not treat the infection or the cause.
