Which Medication Is Advisable For E-coli Causing UTI?

I recently had a UTI and was prescribed ke flex until I could see my dr. AT which time he took me off it because I had an e coli uti. But I can t determine what other med he prescribed due to the fact that I was once septic and I have quite a few med bottles. Can you please name at least one or two other medications that would have been conducive to an e coli UTI.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

The UTI caused by E.coli can be treated through antibiotics as per culture sensitivity testing result. So, ask to get an urine culture and sensitivity testing to determine the most sensitive antibiotic to use.

Some antibiotic choice include quinolones (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, etc); trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, penicillins (amoxicillin, etc.).

Wish fast recovery.
