Nitrofurantoin is a common first-line treatment for uncomplicated UTIs. It’s generally well-tolerated and effective against many common UTI-causing bacteria.
Fosfomycin is another excellent option for uncomplicated UTIs. This single-dose antibiotic offers convenience and high efficacy.
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) remains a viable choice, particularly for recurrent UTIs. However, increasing bacterial resistance necessitates susceptibility testing.
Cephalexin, a cephalosporin antibiotic, provides a broader spectrum of activity than some other options, making it suitable for more complex infections. Your doctor will determine the best choice based on your specific situation.
Always consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment. They will consider your medical history and the specific bacteria causing your UTI to prescribe the most appropriate antibiotic.
