Phenazopyridine : Phenazopyridine is a medication that is used for urinary tract pain such as burning, itching, and discomfort caused by infection, trauma, or surgery. It is not an antibiotic and does not help treat an infection. If you were given the medication just for pain and are not having pain, then it makes sense that you may not need to take it. However, your doctor may have had another reason to prescribe it to you that you or i are not aware of. A good rule of thumb is whenever you are not sure whether you should take a medication prescribed by your doctor, give your doctor a call and let them know your concerns. Many medications have multiple uses and the safest thing to do is check with your doctor.

It sounds like this: medication was provided to reduce symptoms. Unsweetened cranberry juice can decrease bacteria adhering to urinary tract.
