Uti

[lyndynojo 140]

So I have a UTI and my surgeon prescribed cipro. This pill is hugh! I just took my second one but man is it big. Got it down ok but had to eat a couple of crackers cuz the first one made me nauseous. I'm just over 3 weeks out and can't believe I can take this big ole pill. Lol

So sorry about that. Is it possible to crush the pill or cut it in half so it's easier to go down? Hope you get feeling better soon.

You could break them in half. I've had to take cipro too cause I get

UTIs all the time. it sucks.

Thanks so much for the support. Im gonna try breaking them from now on. They don't hurt I'm just afraid it will get stuck. Crazy I know. Lol

Thanks in advance

Burning when I urinate then blood in my urine.

One thing that has helped both the wife an I was to start drinking a EmergenC brand Vitamin C drink 3 times a week. It's no mystery, it's principally ascorbic acid which passes through to the urine one the body adsorbs what it needs, this acidifies the urine and makes it inhospitable to some infectious bacteria, and the increased Water helps increase the urine flow too.

I mix mine with 12 ozs of Water rather than the described 6, makes it easier on my tiny tummy.

Where do you get EmergenC? I have seen several people on the forum mention it.

I received a call last Wednesday from the Nurse Manager telling me my pre-admission tests found a UTI. I had no symptoms. They put me on bactrim for seven days. My pills are huge too. Luckily, I only have one left!!! They were making me terribly nauseous.

Well if you're in the USA any drug store or department store (Walmart) should have it. You can buy online too but if you're not in the USA it may be dicey.

It also has a lot of B12 in it too so a separate B12 may not be necessary.
