I'm on amox tr k clv for a uti because i can't take a lot of meds. is there anything else that would be more effective?

Depends upon "bug": Also upon which meds you can take. But, antibiotics are the only sure way of eliminating a UTI in spite of unscientific claims of herbalists and naturopaths. However drinking lots of water and urinating evry couple of hours can help to get rid of a UTI sooner. Taking sodium bicarbonate , in tablet form or in a drink, will reduce urinary acidity & help to relieve symptom of burning.
