When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of phenazopyridine is contraindicated in patients with impaired renal function. Phenazopyridine is primarily eliminated unchanged by the kidney and may accumulate to toxic levels during prolonged administration in such patients. Reported cases of toxicity due to overdosage have resulted in acute renal failure and methemoglobinemia. Likewise, administration of phenazopyridine to patients with preexisting renal failure has led to methemoglobinemia and hemolytic anemia. Phenazopyridine toxicity may be associated with a yellowish tinge of the skin or sclera.
