4 days: You can take Azo while you are on antibiotics for a UTI; however, you should follow the directions and not use Azo longer than recommended in the directions. Also If you have been on antibiotics for 4 days and aren't getting better, you may have an infection that isn't sensitive to the antibiotic you are on. You need to see your doctor tomorrow and ask about this. Best wishes!

In 1-3 days if ...: Antibiotics kills sensitive germs; if so, you should feel less burning and frequency in 1-3 days after taking it. Cystex containing cranberry extract may help suppress bacteria to grow and Azo (phenazopyridine) soothes irritative voiding symptoms. If not easing in 1-3 days and fading away in 5-7 days, be reevaluated so to check if diagnosis is right or not.
