Overview
Each tablet contains: Methenamine, USP 81.6 mg Monobasic Sodium Phosphate, USP 40.8 mg Methylene Blue, USP 10.8 mg Hyoscyamine Sulfate, USP 0.12 mg Inactive ingredients include : microcrystalline cellulose, NF, mannitol, USP, croscarmellose sodium, NF, magnesium stearate, NF and lake blend blue. HYOSCYAMINE SULFATE is an alkaloid of belladonna. Exists as a white crystalline powder. Affected by light. It is very soluble in water; freely soluble in alcohol; practically insoluble in ether. METHENAMINE exists as colorless, lustrous crystals or white crystalline powder. Its solutions are alkaline to litmus. Freely soluble in water; soluble in alcohol and in chloroform. METHYLENE BLUE exists as dark green crystals. It is soluble in water and in chloroform; sparingly soluble in alcohol. MONOBASIC SODIUM PHOSPHATE exists as a white crystalline powder. Its solutions are acidic to litmus. It is freely soluble in water and practically insoluble in alcohol.
Indications & Usage
UROGESIC-BLUE™ is indicated for the treatment of symptoms of irritative voiding. Indicated for the relief of local symptoms, such as hypermotility which accompany lower urinary tract infections and as antispasmodic. Indicated for the relief of urinary tract symptoms caused by diagnostic procedures.
Dosage & Administration

Risk-benefit should be considered when the following medical problems exist: Cardiac disease (especially cardiac arrythmias, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, mitral stenosis); gastrointestinal tract obstructive disease; glaucoma; myasthenia gravis; acute urinary retention may be precipitated in obstructive uropathy (such as bladder neck obstruction due to prostatic hypertrophy).
Adverse Reactions
Cardiovascular – rapid pulse, flushing Central Nervous System – blurred vision, dizziness Respiratory – shortness of breath or troubled breathing Genitourinary – difficulty micturition, acute urinary retention Gastrointestinal – dry mouth, nausea/vomiting
Drug Interactions
because of this product's effect on gastrointestinal motility and gastric emptying, it may decrease the absorption of other oral medications during concurrent use such as: urinary alkalizers; thiazide diuretics (may cause the urine to become alkaline reducing the effectiveness of methenamine by inhibiting its conversion to formaldehyde); antimuscarinics (concurrent use may intensify antimuscarinic effects of hyoscyamine because of secondary antimuscarinic activities of these medications); antacids/antidiarrheals (may reduce absorption of hyoscyamine, concurrent use with antacids may cause urine to become alkaline reducing effectiveness of methenamine by inhibiting its conversion to formaldehyde) doses of these medications should be spaced 1 hour apart from doses of hyoscyamine; antimyasthenics (concurrent use with hyoscyamine may further reduce intestinal motility); ketoconazole (patients should be advised to take this combination at least 2 hours after ketoconazole); monoamine oxidase (MAO) Inhibitors (concurrent use may intensify antimuscarinic side effects, opoid (narcotic) analgesics may result in increased risk of severe constipation); sulfonamides (these drugs may precipitate with formaldehyde in the urine, increasing the danger of crystalluria). Patients should be advised that the urine may become blue to blue green and the feces may be discolored as a result of the excretion of methylene blue.
