What Causes Nausea And Dry Heaving While On Phenazopyridine?

I had an R TKR on 11/30 and have been doing great with pain meds, 5mg oxycodone 500 mg of Tylenol every 6-8 hours, on 12/24 at 3 am on got up to pee and had classic symptoms of a UTI, I was uncomfortable for 2 hours and then rested until I got up a 7 am. I went to local FastMeds Urgent care I was seen by a PA who has seen me before, she prescribed Nitrofurantoin 100mg and Pyridium 200mg (Pharmacist gave me the OTC equivalent Phenazopyridine HCI 97.5 mg 2 pills 3 times a day) I took antibiotic yesterday at 11:30 am and a dose of the Phenazopyridine. I took another dose of Phenazopyridine at 5:30 pm and again at 11:30 pm with the antibiotic, I woke up at 3 am and had a BM, then became nauseous and dry heaved. I did not take any more of the Phenazopyridine today, I did take another dose of the antibiotic at 11:30 am, I hadn t eaten much, tried to stay hydrated then at 5 pm I had diarrhea and dry heaved again, I was uncomfortable for 30 min. then rested. I don t have a fever, I don t have chill, no pain in lower back

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

So just on suspicion basis why you have started antibiotics at least you should have some reports to confirm it and then start antibiotic so now you can stop antibiotics and start antacids and oral liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
