Uti

I went uro doc for a follow up because I have frequent utis and urgency to urinate and actually I felt ok. She started me on myrbetriq and guess what, my urgency started again. Also, I have read it can cause utis and one of my main complaints is chronic utis. The side effects of this medicine can cause you have the problems this medicine is suppose to remedy. Explain that. ## Hi Kathy, There are lots of prescription drugs that cause the same problems as the ones they are supposed to treat. It's pretty ridiculous! Have you ever tried any natural/homeopathic remedies? I've heard that coconut milk, coconut water, and cranberry juice can be really effective. I deal with a condition called interstitial cystitis which causes an urgency to urinate and all sorts of wonderful related iss...

I have been taking losartan hctz for 3 days and already feel like I have a url with burning and urgency. I never get these infections so I am assuming it could be the Losartan. Yes or no? ## Hello, Kathy! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. To be quite honest, I'm finding conflicting information on this, some information says it can cause them, but not others. So it may or may not be, there is always a first time for everything, including getting a UTI, though you never have before. Have you had this checked out, yet? Are on any other medications?

my Dr prescribed Bactrim DS for 3 days to treat UTI is this duration long enough? ## Hello, Pollo! How are you? It really depends on the severity of the infection, so that might be appropriate, but only your doctor can decide. This antibiotic may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. How long have you had the infection? Are you prone to getting them frequently?

I've recently started taking duavee. It has been one week. I'm noticing that I feel like I am suffering from a uti. Pain is not bad but I can feel the pressure and feels strange starting my urine stream. Is this the medicine? Should I see my doc immediately. Drinking lots of water but no results. ## Its a pretty neutral compound on the uterus. It may be an UTI but the drug itself should not cause a bacterial infection, might want to check to be sure you don't have a uti to rule that out ## I am also noticing UTI with the change to Duavee. Around one week use I noticed. Planning now to change

Can naproxen sodium 550mg help with uti infection pain while peeing? I was trying to see if it lessens the pain. ## It might help a little, but you would likely get more relief from Phenazopyridine, it is available over the counter in most drug stores. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, discolored urine, and stomach pain. However, it is specifically used to alleviate the burning and pain that occurs with a UTI. You may want to look for it, if your doctor approves of you trying it. Are you also on an antibiotic?

Is ciprofloxacin available over the counter in Mexico? It's my antibiotic of choice for my semi-frequent UTIs, and I would like to start keeping a small stock on hand so that I don't have to take it to the gyno every single time. I know someone out there knows what I'm talking about. Thanks. ## I am in the same boat as you and I just ordered a Cipro online. It came from India and I'm trying to find out if it is the same as what the doctor prescribes. it is orange in color not white. But an answer to your question yes I am sure they carry them in Mexico so stock up because I understand what a pain it is to have to go to the doctor every time :) good luck

I just took left over amoxicillin and nitrofur for a Uti that just became really bad. I'm hoping this will hold me over until I can call my dr tomorrow. I was told its ok to take older antibiotics Bc the worst is that they'd lose their ability to work. Please tell me this is true!!! ## Does amoxicillin 500 MG capsues loose strength over couple years. and do they really mean anything if I have a heart mumur before having a tooth extraction? ## Yes, it is correct, they do start to lose effectiveness over time, thus they don't work as well and you need to see a doctor to get a new prescription, as soon as possible. Casey, I have never known them to have to be used for someone with heart murmur, before dental extractions. My own doctor has never worried about it. It's genera...

I've been prescribed clindamycin 300mg for the next seven days. Is this for a urinary tract infection (e.coli)?

Can this medicine give you a UTI? I don't take baths, and it started 2 days after I started taking Medroxypr. ## Medroxyprogesterone is a hormone, commonly used in Contraceptives. It is not known to cause UTIs, however, there are other ways they can occur, it doesn't require taking a bath. They can also occur from eating something or having another medical condition that causes an imbalance and lets the infection set it. Sometimes they just occur for no known reason.
