When should I take antibiotics for UTI?
Should your symptoms be causing you distress, or you find they don’t disappear, or even worsen, after 48 hours, you should go and see a doctor, who will prescribe antibiotics if a UTI is confirmed. There are lots of different antibiotics used to treat UTIs, and again this choice can depend on whether you have a complicated UTI or not. 9
Which antibiotics are safe to take during pregnancy?
medications have sufficient data related to safe and effective use in pregnancy. Antibiotics such as beta-lactams, vancomycin, nitrofurantoin, metronidazole, clindamycin, and fosfomycin are generally considered safe and effective in pregnancy. Fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines are generally avoided in pregnancy.
Do I always need antibiotics for an uti?
Though antibiotics are the first line of defense against UTIs, there is a reason why they may not always work — namely, antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics are often prescribed for viral illnesses that do not respond to other medication, or when patients do not take that medication properly.
