A member asked:
Is a penicillin shot effective for uti and if so in what amount?

No, penicillin is not used for UTI’s as it does not cover the bacteria typically involved in UTI’s. Make sure you talk to your doc about your symptoms.

Penicillin is not the first choice for treating UTI as the organisms causing are less susceptible to it.
