A member asked:
Changed my daughters abx to macrobid because it was the only po abx the culture is sensitive to. yet the med directions say not for a kidney infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trust your doc: This med is commonly used for UTI's when guided by the results of a culture. It is seldom used as a first line drug for unstudied cases, since there are other meds that cover a larger number of germs in general.
