∙ 15y agoYou can use anything you want to in treating a urinary tract infection (UTI). But what should you use? Should you use ciprofloxacin? That depends. This particular generic antibiotic is sometimes prescribed for a UTI, but prescribing physicians usually want some idea of what the actual "bug" is that is infecting the urinary tract before deciding what medication to prescribe. With maybe a dozen different drug options, it doesn't make sense not to do something like a sensitivity test to see which of the medications will be most effective. In a UTI, there are some consequences for "not getting it right" with a treatment plan. And they can be serious. You shouldn't be "winging it" by yourself. You should be seeking a medical professional for advice. Pretty soon. Use the link for more information.

∙ 16y agoThe doctor should have done a culture and sensitivity on the urinalysis. The culture will show what kind of bugs are growing and the sensitivity will show what drugs will treat the infection. Cipro is a good antibiotic and it is used to treat UTI's. It will work if the culture is sensitive to the drug.

If you have no improvement by taking this medicine or if it develops drug resistance, you can take a different medication treatment like herbal medicine called diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill, which is natural with no side effects.
