URINARY TRACT INFECTION medication question!!?!


Question: URINARY TRACT INFECTION medication question!!!?
I have a pretty bad case of UTI!.!.!.!.and got prescribed Macrobid (Nitrofurantoin) to take one pill twice daily!. The pain is excruciating and I cannot bear it!.!.!.!.even worse, i have my finals this week and it is really a huge nuisance!.

I am also taking AZO (2 pills, 3 times daily like it says on the box), but I can only take that for two days!.!.!.!.

Is it okay if I take the antibiotic, AZO as well as Ibprofen--for pain!?!?!? I don't know how much is too much!. I wouldn't go over the required dosage!.!.!.!.but just wanna know if taking a tylenol/motrin is okay on top of Azo!.!.!.!.!.!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You can take ibuprofen along with the AZO and Macrobid!.!.!.no worries about drug interaction!.!.!.I know that for a fact!.

What concerns me about your case, though, is if the organism that's causing your UTI is truly sensitive to Macrobid!. The doc did do a CULTURE, correct!? You need a culture done on top of the regular urinalysis when you have a UTI!. That is the only way to find out what drugs will kill the bacteria!. Some bacteria are resistant to Macrobid!.

If you aren't feeling better in a few days, then you will need to go back to the doctor for a different prescription!. Macrobid does take a day or two before you start to notice any relief, be aware of that!. Taking ibuprofen is a great idea to relieve you of the pain!.

Hopefully the doc did do a culture and knows FOR SURE that Macrobid will kill the bacteria!. Take care and hope you feel better soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

OK!.!.!.!.!.maybe you should have gotten the prescription UTI painkiller pyridium as it may actually be stronger!. But know that you never want to go thru this again!.!.!.!.so take my advice!. Get Cranberry extract supplements and take them religiously as you apparently are prone to UTI!. And make sure to always pee well after penetration from sex!. This will cause a UTI quicker than anything and also make sure you are very clean when you have sex!. Always empty your bladder well!.!.!.!.!.and flush flush flush everyday with lots of water!. Take it from me I have been there and done that!!!!!!!!There is an antibiotic that you can take to prevent an after sex UTI!. It is called Trimethoprim and it is just for this purpose!. Ask the doc for it if you have to have it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What are u waiting for!. Get some antibiotics and some baby wipes to keep your area fresh!. The biotics will ease the pain in less than 12 hours!. That AZO crap is a waste of money!.

You have bacteria in your urinal tract crap medicine will not cure that!.

Been where you are before many times until I started using baby wipes for my bottom and stop letting dirty boys touch my private!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it should be fine for you to take ibuprofen and Tylenol (either one or both together) on top of the antibiotic and the AZO!.

If you're still in a lot of pain after 48 hours on the antibiotic, go back to the doctor!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sorry to hear that you are taking all that man made drugs!.
Drink lots of water and organic Cranberry juice for three or four days!. This will do just as good and you wont have side effects from the antibiotics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you have been on an antibbiotic for a number of days the pain should be getting less!. You need to go back and see your doctor!. You may need something else!. for example if crumps a muscle relaxant!. Meanwile take plenty of fluids!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
