Methylene blue is a component of a frequently prescribed urinary analgesic/anti-infective/anti-spasmodic known as Prosed, a combination of drugs which also contains phenyl salicylate, benzoic acid, hyoscyamine sulfate, and methenamine (aka hexamethylenetetramine and not to be confused with 'methanamine').
