Prosed EC (Oral)

Atropine, hyoscyamine, methenamine, methylene blue, phenyl salicylate, and benzoic acid combination medicine is an anticholinergic, anti-infective, and analgesic. It is taken by mouth to help ease the pain caused by urinary tract infections; however, it will not cure the infection itself. Your doctor may also prescribe this combination medicine for other conditions.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

If your symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they get worse, contact your doctor.

These medicines may reduce sweating, which can cause your body temperature to rise. Be careful not to get too hot during exercise or in hot weather while taking this medicine, as overheating can lead to heat stroke. Also, hot baths or saunas may make you feel dizzy or faint while you are taking this medicine.

This medicine may cause some people to experience blurred vision. Make sure you understand how this medicine affects you before driving, using machines, or doing anything else that could be dangerous if your vision is not clear. If your vision remains blurred, contact your doctor.

This medicine may cause a dry mouth. For temporary relief, you can use sugarless candy or gum, melt small pieces of ice in your mouth, or use a saliva substitute. However, if your mouth stays dry for more than 2 weeks, contact your dentist. Ongoing dry mouth may increase the risk of dental problems, including tooth decay, gum disease, and fungal infections.

Do not take this medicine within 2 or 3 hours of taking antacids or medicines for diarrhea. Taking antacids or antidiarrheal medications and this medicine too close together may stop this medicine from working properly.

In deciding to use a medicine, the chances of using the medication must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your clinician will make. For this medication, the following should be considered:

Allergies

Inform your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medication or any other medicines. Additionally inform your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.

Pediatric

Unusual excitement, nervousness, restlessness or irritability, and unusual warmth, dryness, and flushing of skin are more likely to occur in children, who are typically more sensitive to the effects of atropine and hyoscyamine (contained in this combination medicine). Also, when atropine and hyoscyamine are given to children during hot weather, a rapid increase in body temperature may occur. In infants and children, especially those with spastic paralysis or brain damage, this drug may be more likely to cause serious adverse effects.

Geriatric

Confusion or memory loss, constipation, difficult urination, excitement, agitation, drowsiness, or dryness of mouth may be more likely to occur in elderly patients, who are usually more sensitive than younger adults to the effects of atropine and hyoscyamine. As well, this combination drug may cause eye pain in patients who have untreated glaucoma.

Breast Feeding

Studies in women suggest that this drug poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.

There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant chance when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential chances prior to using this medicine while breastfeeding.

Interactions with Drugs

Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medications may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your clinician may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are using this medicine, it is especially essential that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the drugs listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.

While you are taking this combination medicine, it is important for your urine to be acidic. To do this, your doctor may recommend that you eat more protein and such foods as cranberries (especially cranberry juice with vitamin C added), plums, or prunes. You should avoid foods that make the urine more alkaline, such as most fruits (especially citrus fruits and juices), milk, and other dairy products.

Take this medicine only as directed. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.

Each dose should be taken with a full glass (8 ounces) of water or other liquid (except citrus juices and milk). Drink plenty of water or other liquids every day, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Drinking enough liquids will help your kidneys work better and lessen your discomfort.

To help clear up your infection completely, keep taking this medicine for the full time of treatment even if you begin to feel better after a few days. Do not miss any doses.

In order for this medicine to work well, your urine must be acid (pH 5.5 or below). To make sure that your urine is acid:

• Before you start taking this medicine, check your urine with phenaphthazine paper or another test to see if it is acid. If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.
• You may need to change your diet; however, check with your doctor first if you are on a special diet (for example, for diabetes). To help make your urine more acid you should avoid most fruits (especially citrus fruits and juices), milk and other dairy products, and other foods which make the urine more alkaline. Eating more protein and foods such as cranberries (especially cranberry juice with vitamin C added), plums, or prunes may also help. If your urine is still not acid enough, check with your doctor.

Dosing

The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.

The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.

• For oral dosage form (tablets): For relief of urinary tract symptoms: Adults and children 12 years of age and older—1 to 2 tablets four times a day. Children 6 to 12 years of age—Dose must be determined by the doctor. Children up to 6 years of age—Use is not recommended.
