Is Amneal's Pyridium (Phenazopyridine) gluten free? ## Confirming that the pills marked PY 1 contain Phenazopyridine 100 mg (NDC 65162-681).

The typical antibiotic side effects, as reported by the FDA, may possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Has the Phenazopyridine helped, at all?

Hi doctor I'm having a big problem with my vigina its so itchy and I've got unbearable abdominal pains I did consult my gynae he said I have uterus infection and prescribed Antibiotics but now the problem doesn't go away.

If you have itching, redness and a white discharge, after finishing the antibiotics, there's a chance that they may have caused a yeast infection. You need to go see the gynecologist, again, so they can check it out for you and prescribe the proper medication, if necessary. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you I went to the chemist and they prescribed Canex V, Probiotics and Pyridium but I've noticed this me...
