Hi my query is what meds for washing the urinary bladder, this is for my 82 year Dad, who just had, urinary infection, he's taking antibiotic for 7 days, is there any meds, for cleansing his bladder so that this UTI will not come back. Thanks QUEENIE
Hi , a single episode of uncomplicated UTI is effectively treated with 7 days if nitrofurantoin. No need of bladder cleansing as bladder has its own natural methods to stay out of infection. in order to prevent UTI at this age, get his prostate evaluated and if he has any incontinence, I suggest consult a urologist . meds can be oxybutynin . hope this helps.
