I've been experiencing very painful burning for weeks. I've been prescribed this medication twice now each for 7 days. The first time was 2 mths ago. I had relief for a few days & then it came right back! I'm on my 4 day out of a 7 day script & still in pain. How long before this medication brings some relief? It doesn't have the milligrams on the bottle. Could this burning be from something else? ## I'm sorry, Katherine, what medication have you been prescribed? You forgot to mention it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of most antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, rash, fainting, diarrhea and changes in color vision. Has this medication been prescribed for you?

For treatment of UTI in a male with an old history of the disease which will be a better optiion, Balofloxacin or Norfloxacin ? Is there some still better treatment. Result of urine culture has shown several anti microbial drugs to which the bacteria is sensitive. ## I am afraid I don't have much information on Balofloxacin, because it isn't used in the U.S. However, Norfloxacin is frequently used to treat UTIs. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, joint/tendon problems and diarrhea.

i have bought unrinary infection test strips and i used two of them. they both turned out positive for UTI ## Hi Nikki, Based on my research, the combination of sulfamethoxazole 800mg + trimethoprim 160mg can be used to treat urinary tract infections. The usual adult dose for a urinary tract infection is: 1 tablet orally every 12 hours for 10 to 14 days. However I'd still recommend discussing this with your doctor first, in order to confirm whether or not these instructions are also appropriate for your individual needs. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim Details I hope this info helps!

The doctor prescribed this medication for a urinary tract infection. Does it work to get rid of the infection? Shouldn't I be taking Bactrin rather than the medication that is in the title? Dorit ## Hi, Dorit! No, the first part of the medication in the title is Nalidixic Acid, which is a type of antibiotic that's used to treat or prevent infections. Phenazopyridine is another ingredient that's used to alleviate the pain of the infection. Side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and discolored urine. You can learn more Nalidixic Acid details here and there are more Phenazopyridine details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

I would like to know if Zoxan 500 is used to treat blood infection. If so, for what level of infgection it is used. Mild, average or serious? ## Ciprofloxacin is reported to be the active ingredient in Zoxan. Ciprofloxacin is used to treat a number of infections including: infections of bones and joints, endocarditis, gastroenteritis, malignant otitis externa, respiratory tract infections, cellulitis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, anthrax, chancroid, among others. The term "among others" is very vague, so I think it best to contact your doctor to confirm its use for blood infection. I personally couldn't find any info relating it to that treatment, but your local doctor or pharmacy should be able to clarify that for you.

I have wisdom teeth that cracked and I haven't got them pulled out. Now the ones in front of my wisdom teeth cracked and got holes and hurt really bad.
