FAQs
- What are the best antibiotics for UTIs?
The best antibiotic for a UTI depends on the type of bacteria causing the infection. Common antibiotics prescribed include Nitrofurantoin, Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole, Fosfomycin, and Ciprofloxacin. However, only your doctor can decide the best antibiotic for your condition based on your medical history and the results of your urine tests.
- Are there any side effects of using antibiotics for UTIs?
Side effects from antibiotics can vary depending on the type prescribed. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhoea, and mild stomach pains. On rare occasions, antibiotics may cause a severe allergic reaction. It’s crucial to discuss potential side effects with your doctor before beginning treatment.
- How long does it take for antibiotics to work on UTIs?
Most UTIs start to improve after a few days of antibiotic treatment. However, it’s important to finish the entire course of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, even if you’re feeling better, to ensure the infection is completely cleared and to prevent resistance to the antibiotic.
- Are antibiotics the only treatment for UTIs?
While antibiotics are the most common treatment for UTIs to kill the bacteria causing the infection, your doctor might also suggest lifestyle changes, such as drinking more water to help flush out the bacteria from your system, and avoiding caffeine and alcohol, which can irritate your bladder.
- What precautions should I take while on UTI antibiotics?
It’s important to take your antibiotics as directed by your doctor and to complete the full course to prevent antibiotic resistance. Additionally, stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol as it can interfere with the effectiveness of the antibiotic, and notify your doctor immediately if you notice any severe side effects.
