A member asked:
Is it harmful to take prescribed drugs(nitrofurantoin and fluconazole) for uti symptoms before doing a urine test, if you don't actually have uti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is the rationale for treating UTI without culture. If you symptoms are typical a duck is a duck. So if the nitrofurantoin is working and symptoms resolve it does not matter that the culture does not grow an organism. However, if symptoms worsen the culture will grow a bacteria that can be identified and treated with right drug.
