Does phenazopyridine lower birth control effectiveness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. But...: I don't typically worry that phenazopyridine will mess up birth control. But just to be sure, I checked known interactions and could not find any reports of it. So I don't think you have to worry. HOWEVER... One of the main causes of UTI is sexual intercourse. Assuming u have a UTI u might want to try some techniques to reduce sex-related UTI (urinate before & after, pure cranberry juice, etc).
