Question 1

does z pack treat uti?

Accepted Answer

Azithromycin: Assuming that the organism producing your UTI is sensitive to Azithromycin it should do just fine.

Question 2

will a z pack help for uti?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Antibiotics used to treat utis are chosen based on the actual bacteria grown in the urine culture. Azithromycin which is the antibiotic in zpack is not a good choice for the most common organisms causing utis in women in their 40s.

Question 3

can z pack clear up a uti.  so painful to pee and i am on zpack for sinus infection and bronchitis?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely.: Probably not, because most common pathogen or bacteria causing urinary infection , is e. Coli, which is not covered by zithromax.

Question 4

which antibiotic is better for treating a uti cipro (ciprofloxacin) or z pack?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for asking!: The simple answer is that it depends on many factors, and what we would call the art of medicine.  You see, there are many factors in considering which medication to treat your uti-if you are pregnant we would not want to give you cipro, (ciprofloxacin) and could chose Azithromycin or amoxicillin. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is a good choice for non-pregnant females who are not allergic to it because it tends to have less resistance.

Question 5

i woke up with a uti and in a panic took one pill from my husbands z pack.  now if i need cipro (ciprofloxacin) can i not take it today?  i'm on vacation in mexico

Accepted Answer

No, it: won't affect the efficacy of another antibiotic.  You can take additional antibiotics if indicated. But please don't rely on self diagnosis and self medication.  If you can get to a health care provider, get evaluated and receive proper treatment.

Question 6

can a z pack be given for a uti? i absolutely refuse to take fluoroquinolone meds such as cipro (ciprofloxacin) and i'm allergic to penicillin

Accepted Answer

Probably : Discuss with your doctor, usually it isn&#x27;t the first choice, there are other alternatives, and better be guided by antibiotics sensitivity of urine culture, rather than emperic treatment, your doctor would explain, good luck

Question 7

i just started z pack for tooth infection, i started having burning on urinating this morning. will it also cover a uti since i just started z pack ye?

Accepted Answer

May not cover: or partly covers. But this is not the way uti is treated. You should submit urine first before starting antibiotic for culture and sensitivity. Take care.

my doctor gave me macrobid for my uti. i got my culture back there was ecoli. the pain in my urethra never went away. i am now being told that that will not heal the ecoli in my urethra /urethritis i should take cipro or z pak. why no help both?

Accepted Answer

: What you were told is not true. Check for the drugs the E.coli was sensitive to and you should be /have been on one of  that. Drink plenty of fluids specially. water. Take OTC Azo for 3-4 days(it will turn urine orange) and you should be OK

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Ineffective: Azithromycin the antibiotic in zpack does not treat the most common bacteria that cause utis in young to middle age adults.

Question 10

how long after taking zithromax can you develop uti?

Accepted Answer

Question unclear: If you have received a course of Azithromycin you can develop urinary tract infection during or immediately afterwards if the bacteria was resistant.
