A member asked:
I've been having recurrent utis for 18 months. i find that taking one nitrofurentoin once a week not each night stops infection. is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds good: Intermittent antibiotic treatment is often effective in preventing recurrent UTI in women. The usual approach is 2-3 doses a week, not daily. Once a week should be fine, certainly is safe, and it seems to be working. But still best to inform the doc who prescribed it and make sure s/he agrees.
