Nitrofurantoin And Uti Remedy

I am going in for a uterus treatment and the doctor had me take a urine culture 7 days prior. Twice, the culture came back as positive and the doctor postponed the uterus treatment. I had no symptoms of the UTI. He then prescribed Nitrofurantoin 100mg once a day for a month prior to the next appointment for the procedure. Is this the right antibiotic for my situation? The dosage? Anything else I might add to rectify the positive result of the culture?

It is appropriate and the best choice of drug. I am also on this drug everyday in the same dose of 100 mg. I take it to prevent UTIs because I get them all the time. This antibiotic only treats the urinary tract so I understand why your doctor prescribed it. Hopefully the next result you have will be negative. If anything is going to work for UTIs, Nitrofurantoin is a good choice.

Yes, Nitrofurantoin is commonly used to treat UTIs. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

As to anything else that might help, make sure to drink plenty of fluids to keep your kidneys, and urinary tract flushed out.

Are you on any other medications? Do you frequently get UTIs?
