Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 HI Barb P : I'm not sure about the women here and the UTI's, but fred's doctor put him on Nitrofuran MCR 50mg 1 x 1 aday to control his UTI's. His been on it for over a year. It seems to help he doesn't get them as often. Take Care Vera How is the best way to cope with low grade contamination in the bladder to prevent it form becoming a full blown UTI? Will a low dose of antibiotic lead to immunity? Is one antibiotic preferred over another? Any comments will be welcomed.............. barbara pond blacksburg va Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 My husband, Ralph has been interchanged with Cipro and Macrobid over the last two years, in that time he had to go to the emergency room once and they put him on a IV for a UTI and high fever and a few times the doctor has caught the infection before it was full blown and interchanged the antibiotics again. I worry too, with him being on it every night 250mg for prevention for the long term.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Vera, Is that an antibiotic that he takes everyday to prevent them? I am thinking I might have a bladder infection again, myself. I am going to make the appointment tomorrow. It seems like I keep them regularly also.
