Phenazopyridine is a urinary tract analgesic used to relieve pain, burning, and urgency in urinary infections. It is not an antibiotic; it colors urine orange-red. The name derives from its chemical structure, combining a phenyl group, a azo bridge, and a pyridine ring. In pharmacology, it is typically used short-term to alleviate dysuria symptoms alongside treatment for infection.
