AZO is phenazopyridine. It is NOT an antibiotic.
Phenazopyridine is a urinary tract analgesic (pain reliever). It's used to relieve symptoms of pain, burning, urinary urgency, and urinary frequency associated with urinary tract infections, trauma, surgery, catheter placement, or other painful conditions.
It also turns your urine BRIGHT orange. It's pretty weird!

Azo is an over-the-counter treatment for the symptoms of a bladder infection. it contains Pyridium which can help with the spasming and pain. you still need to be treated with antibiotics. call your doctor in the morn or visit a local urgent care.

It is a dye (which is why it turns pee orange), that also happens to be a urinary anesthetic. So it will relieve the pain from an infection - but you are still infected. So if you think you have an infection, get tested and treated because they can get serious fast.
It's handy on the weekends when your doctor is not in the office though - and thats about the only reason it should be used.
Good Luck
