Uribel & Side Effects? Rash?

[MasterAli22]

Hi,

I've been taking Uribel for when my suspected IC acts up. It's the only drug that seems to do anything for me (I've also tried Prosed and Pyridium). Anyway, I don't take it much, but was feeling pretty bad last week so I took at least one a day for a good four days in a row.

For the past few days my neck, behind my ears, shoulders, and upper chest have been driving me crazy -- they are sooo itchy and I seem to be getting random tiny bumps. If I scratch them they get red. It's very random and the itchiness comes and goes. I am trying to figure out what could be going on and the only thing I can come up with is the Uribel, but I have never reacted to a drug before.

Has anyone else run into any side effects/reactions to Uribel or similar drugs, specifically skin irritation/rash/bumps?

I might call my doc office tomorrow just to ask about them as they are driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance!

I've had reactions like that to a couple of medications- Macrobid was one and Prosed was another. If you break out in a rash with blisters and bumps and itch, then it sure sounds like an allergic reaction. I don't do well with the blue dyes they put in meds like Prosed and Urelle.
