What is Uro-L?
Hyoscyamine produces many effects in the body, including relief from muscle spasms.
Methenamine and methylene blue work as mild antiseptics that fight bacteria in the urine and bladder.
Phenyl salicylate is a mild pain reliever.
Sodium biphosphate is a form of phosphorus, which is a naturally occurring substance that is important in every cell in the body.
Uro-L is a combination medicine used to treat bladder irritation (pain, spasms, inflammation) caused by urinary tract infection. Uro-L is also used to prevent bladder discomfort during a medical procedure.
Uro-L may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

How should I take Uro-L?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking this medicine.

What should I avoid while taking Uro-L?
Avoid taking an antacid or anti-diarrhea medicine within 1 hour before or after you take hyoscyamine, methenamine, methylene blue, phenyl salicylate, and sodium biphosphate. Antacids or anti-diarrhea medicine can make it harder for your body to absorb hyoscyamine.
