Manufactured by Cipla.<\/p>\n \u03a3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2:<\/strong> nausea, vomiting, rash, photosensitivity, headache.<\/p>\n Significant:<\/strong> hyperkalaemia (especially with ACE inhibitors, ARBs), hyponatraemia, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (rare), bone marrow suppression with prolonged use.<\/p>\n Rare serious:<\/strong> severe allergic reactions (sulfa allergy \u2014 very common and must be documented), TEN, DRESS syndrome, acute kidney injury.<\/p>\n E. coli<\/em> resistance rates vary regionally. In the US\/UK, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance is often 25\u201330% for community UTI isolates \u2014 making it a second-line rather than first-line empirical choice in many guidelines. Nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin often have lower resistance rates. Always request a urine culture + sensitivity<\/strong> when: recurrent UTIs, pyelonephritis, pregnancy, treatment failure, men with UTI, complicated UTI, or recent antibiotic use.<\/p>\n Store at room temperature (15\u201325 \u00b0C). Keep tablets in original blister, away from moisture. Keep out of reach of children.<\/p>\n Symptoms typically improve within 24\u201348 hours. Complete the full course (3 days for uncomplicated UTI) even if you feel better \u2014 stopping early risks recurrence and resistance.<\/p>\n Symptoms persisting after 48\u201372 hours suggest resistance or wrong diagnosis. Return for urine culture + sensitivity. Do not start a second antibiotic without cultures.<\/p>\n Common, especially with broad-spectrum antibiotics that disrupt vaginal flora. Topical or oral antifungal (fluconazole 150 mg single dose) resolves it. Probiotic combinations aim to reduce this risk.<\/p>\n Third trimester contraindicated. First\/second trimester can be used with caution. Nitrofurantoin is often preferred for UTI in pregnancy (first and second trimester; avoid at term).<\/p>\n No strong interaction, but heavy alcohol can worsen GI side effects and delay recovery. Moderate intake is generally OK.<\/p>\n Yes. Stopping early when symptoms resolve leaves residual bacteria that can re-establish infection and select for resistance.<\/p>\n Most antibiotics (except rifampicin\/rifabutin) do NOT reduce OCP efficacy despite old advice. Continue your usual pills.<\/p>\n Recurrent UTIs (\u22652\/6 months or \u22653\/year) warrant investigation \u2014 sex as trigger, post-menopausal atrophy, anatomical issues, diabetes, residual bacteria from incomplete treatment. Post-coital prophylaxis, nightly low-dose prophylaxis, or vaginal estrogen (post-menopause) are options.<\/p>\n \u2695\ufe0f \u0399\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u0391\u03c0\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 \u0395\u03c5\u03b8\u03c5\u03bd\u03ce\u03bd:<\/strong> Information is educational and does not replace medical advice.
