Our UTI Treatment with methenamine slows UTI symptom progression and eases patient pain^∞

To help keep a urinary tract infection from progressing until your patient can get to your office, AZO Urinary Tract Defense^TM contains methenamine to help slow the progression and sodium salicylate to help with general pain.

Methenamine is an antibacterial agent which in the urine is converted to formaldehyde, an antiseptic. In the bladder, these agents target undesirable bacterial growth associated with urinary tract infections.¹
Sodium salicylate, an analgesic, helps with discomfort associated with a UTI through its anti-inflammatory activity.¹

AZO Urinary Tract Defense^TM helps target the causative agent of a UTI and simultaneously provides general pain relief.
