1. Martifur Mr. 100 (nitrofurantoin) is a good antibiotic and no need to use levofloxacin. 2. Drink plenty of fluids and re evaluates blood sugars and glycemic control. 3. If he is on sglt2 inhibitor drugs (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin) for diabetes, it can cause recurrent uti. 4. If he has recurrent uti, get urine culture and sensitivity for definitive treatment.

Dear , I must know your age, urine report sonography with full bladder volume, bladder-wall thickness and post void residual urine. As you have recurrent/persistent infection one has to find the cause. It may be that the dose was not right or duration was inadequate or drug was not taken as it should be taken or usg was wrongly interpreted or was not done in much detail as shown earlier. So please post the reports with films so that I can guide you properly.

Please get urine for culture sensitivity done at a credible lab. That can be correlated to her current medication. In case the offending agent is sensitive to the medicine she is on, it can be continued for the prescribed number of days, otherwise, it can be changed to a sensitive antibiotic.
God bless her.

I want to consult for my mother, age-53y. Three weeks ago she feels mild aches right lower back side occasionally. So we went to gp two weeks ago, gp suggested for usg whole abdomen and urine culture. Usg report is normal but urine culture found escherichia coli (100000 cfu/ml of unspun urine). But no burning sensation during urine. Antibiogram of culture report: amikacin – scefotaxime- cefixime- s ciprofloxacin- norfloxacin- ofloxacin- r levofloxacin-i lomefloxacin-imeropenem- moxifloxacin- Inalidixic acid- nitrofurantoin- s gentamycin- spiperac/tazobactam- samplicillin/sulbactam-s (s=sensitive,i=intermediate, r=resistant) gp prescribed - martifur 100 tablet - once for first 3 days, twice for next 12 days. Syp uriliser- 2table spoon 1/2cup water twice but no improvement after two weeks. Again consult with gp, he prescribe - o2 tablet – twice for 5 days martifur 100 – once for 10 days. But no improvement. As per antibiogram e.coli has ofloxacin resistant. But gp prescribed o2 tablet (ofloxacin-200 mg). Does o2 tablet works against these strain bacteria? Martifur 100 tablet - once for first 3 days, twice for next 12 days. Can this antibiotic effective because initially 3 days once a day (may be low dose, may bacterial got resistant for low dose)? Please suggest another medicine which would be better.

The doctor has prescribed an antibiotic for which e coli is sensitive. If the course is over, after stopping the antibiotic for 48 hrs do a repeat culture and sensitivity.

Dysuria and hurt during pee are suggestive of infection. You can try the two medicines mentioned above. I hope you have visited a doctor before taking these medicines take a complete course of the medicine and still if you have problem you should get tested again. Diarrhoea may not necessarily get better with this medication.

Urifast is a urinary infection antibiotic. First you should find the cause of your urinary compalints like infection, obstruction etc. Infection is detected by urine routine tests, or culture test. Sometimes sonography is required to find the cause. You have not mentioned your age. Consult urologist for proper management.
