Sodium salicylate is a pain reliever, to help relieve general pain and discomfort while methenamine does its thing. Methenamine is an antibacterial medicine that slows the growth of bacteria along the urinary tract, helping you to control the UTI. Uqora’s UTI Infection Control includes two active ingredients - sodium salicylate and methenamine, a powerful duo.

We recommend using our UTI Infection Control if you want antibacterial protection and want to control a UTI. Uqora’s UTI Infection Control includes 12 tablets that help control a UTI by helping to inhibit the progression of infection. For these reasons, while safe, we do not recommend taking our UTI Pain Relief or Uqora Flush before using the test strips.

This could lead to a false negative nitrite result. High intake of Vitamin C may impact the results of the test strips by impacting the perceived color. However, it also turns the urine bright orange! Since our test strips use color to indicate if you might have a UTI, the orange urine will make them more difficult to interpret. This dye enters the urine to take effect and relieve UTI pain. Our UTI pain relief contains phenazopyridine hydrochloride, an orange organic dye.

We do not recommend using the test strips while taking the UTI Pain Relief or Uqora Flush. If you are having difficulty reading the test strip or getting a negative result while experiencing UTI symptoms, contact your healthcare professional immediately. The drug tetracycline may also cause a false negative leukocyte result. For example, if you take more than 500 mg of Vitamin C in 24 hours, you may obtain a false negative nitrite result. However, some medications, like the UTI Pain Relief, can affect the color of your urine, making it difficult to properly match the colors. Most substances will not interfere with the test.
