The sulfameth/trimethoprim is commonly called Bactrim which is a standard antibiotic combination for urinary tract infections. It works very well in a couple of days to relieve the symptoms, but finish off the full dose of pills.
As mentioned, the others are Tylenol and Advil, basic pain relievers.
It seems your doctor does not believe you have a urinary tract infection and gave you medication for ulcers, but I don't know why you got the calcium supplement.
I assume the hospital did a urine test and that is why you were diagnosed with urinary tract infection.
I would ask the doctor why she felt you were not suffering from an infection and why she treated your stomach instead. Depending on her answer, perhaps you should find another doctor.

Whenever I have had one I took Sulfa...I don't understand why you were prescribed so many different medications. You should consult with the doctor before taking all of them because they may have some interactions that could be dangerous.

The hospital gave you antibiotics, tylenol, and advil. The doctor gave you calcium and Zantac (calms stomach acid). I would take what the hospital gave you.

The 1st pill is the antibiotic. Take as precribed for the urinary tract infection.

The Acetaminophen (Tylenol). I assume they gave this to you for pain.

The Ibuprofen (like Motrin) is for pain and is an anti-inflammatory.

Oyst-Cal-D is a calcium supplement. (Often recommended for osteoporosis prevention/treatment.)

Ranantadine is typically prescribed for "heartburn."

Does that help? (YOU have to decide which ones to take based on what you now know what they are for. If you are still confused, you need to follow up with your primary doctor and ask him/her if you should take the antibiotic. It would be foolish for anyone who here who does not know your complete history and test results to tell you which meds take.)

Hopefully this wil clear up any confusion

They gave you an antibiotic and a pain med and an anti-inflammatory at the hospital
The Dr , she gave you a Calcium supplement and a med called Zantac (prevents acid) which tells ME that you may be on the brink of bladder stones, she is trying to build up what is broken down...
.......... most ofthen when you have an infection, you need more calcium and you feel quite nauseated-- these 2 meds go hand in hand with the ones from the hospital

YOU NEED ALL OF THEM. the first being the antibiotic and then the pain med and anti-inflammatory

-
Ifyou have an allergic reaction - what you will experience is a rash and high fever It is a Sulfa drug. it was very strange, I took the whole entire prescription for a kidney infection and feeling ok,juststill taking med, I took my last one, went bowling, was feeling crappy- but the end of the match- I had 106 temp and -- well long story short- I had to go bac to the dr and get a shot to clear up the reaction

So Please call for verification and see if she was not just giving them to you as an additional med, could be that between your hospital visit and your dr appt- they found that you may have the start of stones


Let me see if I can find an article to help explain it all

Chronic UTI cause Interstatial Cystitis, i have this resulting from a neurogenic bladder due to back surgery .long story...lol..., anyway I had an Interstim implanted and I have had to teach and study to get many answers
I can no longer take sulfa drugs, but i am on a full time antibiotic and i too take a calcium supplement makes good sense-lol
