A member asked:
I have taken five days of 500 mg twice a day for a uti in the past. my new doctor only prescribed it for three days. will it work or do i need to take it for five days?

Most likely: It depends which medication was prescribed. If you were given ciprofloxacin, the typical course is 3 to 5 days. 3 days will typically suffice for a UTI.
