If you are diabetic, be aware that Pyridium can cause false urine blood sugar test results and ketone tests. You should check with your doctor about what to do, especially if your diabetes in not well controlled. Do not use Pyridium for longer than two days, unless your doctor has told you to do so. Pyridium may make you dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Pyridium is removed from your body by the kidneys.
