What To Take For Uti

I have a UTI Pirifur & Fenazopiridina have been recommended, should I use both or just one? ## Were these medications recommended by your doctor? It is probably best to go with your doctors recommendation (rather than someone's online opinion) since he or she would know best, based on your medical history, and various other methods used for determining if a specific drug is suitable or not. In the meantime I think it would be wise to research and try some natural remedies to help fight the infection without the extra side effects that come with prescription medications.

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 have a uti and have been taking 500 mgs every 6 hours. it seems to be helping alot but how long shoulfd i take it for, 5 days? ## Hi dez, Unfortunately, it's unethical for anyone but your doctor to tell you how long you're supposed to take an antibiotic that he/she prescribed you, based on the nature and severity of the infection. However, I will say that most antibiotics I've taken for bacterial infections have been prescribed for an average of 7-10 days; and I've personally never heard of anyone walking away with a 5 day prescription of antibiotics, but I'm sure there are some of those cases out there with minimal infections. Hope this helps! ## Being treated for a parasite. The pesticides we treated with resulted in bladder infections in both me & my boyfrie...

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.

I'm all out of Amoxicillin and have Pota-V-kin Penicillin V 800000U... Does this cure a UTI? Please help. ## Hi Juno, A study by the US National Institute of Health smugly describes Penicillin's efficacy against UTI's as being a rational choice. Source: NIH / PMC477226 However my research leads me to believe that Penicillin's efficacy may also be dependent upon the strain of bacteria that's causing the infection. Therefore it may be a good idea to have your doctor analyze the bacteria through whatever diagnostics are deemed appropriate, in order to ensure that taking Penicillin is indeed the best approach. If you're unable to get in to see a doctor, perhaps a local pharmacist could at least advise you on Penicillin's standard adult dosing protocols for a UTI....
