I have a UTI...?!
Question: Do I have to drink just water and cranberry juice? I'm taking an antibiotic for it. So can I drink whatever I want as long as I drink enough? I'm so tired of cranberry juice I don't think I can drink it anymore.

What did your MD say? As long as you are taking an RX, just stay hydrated with water or whatever you'd like. Limit caffeine intake as it can tend to dehydrate you. You can also take an over the counter medication called AZO Standard for the burning feeling until the scrip takes effect in your system. It will however turn your urine bright orange. It can be purchased at Wal-Mart or any drug store.
I agree with the other answerer. But they also have another product at Walmart called Cystex. I think it might even cost a little less. It's in the pharmacy and you have to ask for it but it's not a prescription. It works wonders for a UTI (I've had MANY) AND it won't stain your underwear because it won't change your urine to a bright orange/red. If you're in dire need of some relief, get in a warm bath and soak for awhile. That always helps some.
