OTC UTI Med Linked to Cancer?

Did you know that phenazopyridine, the pain reliever in popular UTI meds like Azo and Uristat, is now being linked to cancer? It’s been around forever and you can grab it off the shelf, but reports say it might mask serious infections and, in high doses, could even be dangerous. Plus, animal studies suggest it could cause tumors. Wild that something so common isn’t even available OTC in Canada or Europe! #HealthNews #OTCdrugs #CancerRisk #UTIawareness #DidYouKnow #Health
