I’ve just finished a 7 day course of nitrofurotoin antibiotics for a UTI, it’s gone eventually but was a bit of a nightmare. I had to visit the walk in clinic last Saturday with my children, husband was travelling, l was in a lot of pain by the time I was treated. I used to suffer from these more frequently and my old doctor let me keep a course of Trimethoprim (which I think was more effective) at home to take at the first onset of symptoms. This was some time ago though and I wondered what my chances are today of getting antibiotics prescribed for future use? Is it common or will I have to jump through hoops? Would appreciate any tips so I can go to my GP forearmed!
