C
Phenazopyridine is a urinary tract analgesic used to treat pain via a local analgesic effect on urinary tract mucosa in conjunction with antibiotics to treat UTI. Ibuprofen may be used but does not have direct effects on the urinary tract mucosa. Bethanechol is used to treat voiding dysfunction and not pain. Increasing fluid intake should be used as adjunct therapy.
