A member asked:
Is it safe to take antibiotics every day for 3 months to treat recurrent uti's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually yes: Although there are potential side effects from doing this you have to weigh it against having the recurrent infections and taking frequent shorter courses of antibiotic. I routinely place people on courses such as this for recurrent uti. By treating the disease your bladder can heal giving you back your natural defenses. www.peedoc.com @thepeedoc.
