Uritact-EC Oral

Uritact-EC Oral Uses

This medication is used to relieve discomfort, pain, frequent urges to urinate, and cramping/spasms of the urinary tract caused by an infection or a medical procedure. Methenamine, methylene blue, and benzoic acid are antiseptic drugs that help to clear a urinary tract infection. Phenyl salicylate is a pain reliever, and atropine and hyoscyamine are antispasmodic drugs that relax muscle cramps/spasms.

This product alone is not a cure for an acute urinary tract infection. If you have a bacterial infection, an antibiotic is usually prescribed to treat it. Consult your doctor for more details.

How To Use Uritact-EC Oral

Take this medication by mouth, usually 4 times daily or as directed by your doctor. This medication is not recommended for use in children younger than 6 years. For children between 6-12 years, the dosage is based on the medical condition and response to therapy. Do not increase your dose or take it more often than prescribed.

To avoid staining the skin, mouth, and teeth, handle the tablets with dry hands and swallow each dose quickly with a full glass of water.

Drink plenty of fluids during treatment with this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor. This medication works better if your urine is more acidic. Your doctor may direct you to drink cranberry juice or take vitamin C supplements to make your urine more acidic. Large amounts of milk products or antacids should be avoided because they make your urine less acidic. Ask your doctor for details.

Take this medication regularly at evenly spaced intervals to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.

Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.

Inform your doctor if your condition does not improve in a few days.
