UTI - Cystitis

When it comes to treating UTIs, medications play a crucial role in addressing the underlying infection and providing relief from symptoms. Common UTI medications include antibiotics (Trimethoprim 200g tablets), which target and eliminate the bacteria responsible for the infection. These medications are often prescribed by healthcare professionals based on the type and severity of the UTI.

In addition to antibiotics, over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as pain relievers and urinary alkalinizers may be recommended to help manage symptoms like pain, burning sensation, and urgency. These medications provide temporary relief while the body fights off the infection.

It's important to note that while OTC medications can provide symptomatic relief, they do not treat the underlying infection. Therefore, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and appropriate cystitis treatment or UTI medicine.

If you're experiencing symptoms of a urinary tract infection, such as frequent urination, burning sensation, or cloudy urine, seek medical attention promptly to receive timely and effective treatment.

What is a UTI? Different parts of your urinary tract, including your bladder (cystitis), urethra (urethritis), or kidneys (kidney infection) can be affected by urinary tract infections (UTIs). Bladder infections are very common and not normally serious if treated quickly. However, the infection can cause more serious issues if it spreads to the kidneys. Most UTIs though can be easily treated with antibiotics. How is a UTI treated? Nitrofurantoin and Trimethoprim are antibiotics which is used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), including cystitis and kidney infections. When nitrofurantoin is taken, the body will filter it from your blood and into your urine. The medicine is concentrated at the site of infection, which is useful if you have a urinary tract infection, however, this means that nitrofurantoin is effective for other types of infection. How long is it taken for? You will usually need to take nitrofurantoin for 3 to 7 days if you are taking it to treat a urinary tract infection.
