Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Phenazopyridine exerts topical analgesic effect on urinary tract mucosa. Since it is only a supportive drug and not a core drug for UTI, it can be stopped, in view of side effects (headache, fever etc). On withdrawal of the drug, side effects also will wane.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
