Uristat Ultra

Uristat Ultra is a pain reliever that works on the lower part of your urinary tract (bladder and urethra).

Uristat Ultra is used to relieve urinary symptoms like pain or burning, needing to urinate more often, and having a strong urge to urinate. These symptoms can be caused by infection, injury, surgery, a catheter, or other issues that irritate the bladder.

Uristat Ultra will help with urinary symptoms, but it will not treat a urinary tract infection. Be sure to take any antibiotic that your doctor prescribes to treat an infection.

Uristat Ultra may also be used for other reasons not mentioned in this medication guide.

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

Take Uristat Ultra after meals.

Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking Uristat Ultra.

Uristat Ultra will most likely darken the color of your urine to an orange or red color. This is a normal effect and is not harmful. Darkened urine may also cause stains to your underwear that may be permanent.
