Cystex UTI Pain Relief + Bacteria Control Description from Clairon
The key pain-fighting analgesic, sodium salicylate, combined with an effective antibacterial agent, methenamine, to help stop the pain and help keep the infection in check until you can see your doctor.
Additionally, Cystex Dual Action Relief will not change the color of the urine as some other over-the-counter UTI treatments may.
It's important to be sure to visit a doctor if you think you have a UTI. Cystex Dual Action Relief tablets are not meant to replace the care of a doctor, since there is no OTC remedy for urinary tract infections (UTIs) or self-treatment for UTIs. They require prescription medication to completely cure the infection. Contact your healthcare provider immediately if you suspect a urinary tract infection.
