Can you take macrobid for a bacterial infection? how to stop reoccuring infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bid with less anti.: Macrobid works as a bacteria-static agent preventing growth of bacteria, sometimes normal flora like e. Coli, by keeping exponential bacterial growth at bay. It is used as a strategy to prevent uti's with intercourse or to help someone who suffers from chronic infections to break the cycle without exposing a patient to antibiotic exposure which can cause drug resistance.
