Is Levoday Effective In Treatment Of Urinary Tract Infections?

default
Posted on Thu, 31 Jul 2014
Question: Hi,

3 days back I've been advised to take Levoday 500 mg and combifame for prostate pain, urine leckage, frequent urination. After 3 days of medications my prostate pain is gone, however, I still have frequent urination with leckage. I just wanted to confirm that does Levoday will cure my urination problem as well. How soon I can expect the results? I still have 4 more days of course to complete. I'm just little concerned that whether levoday will cure my urine problem or not. How long it will take levoday to heal urine problem. Do I need to worry about anything at this point?

Would greatly appreciate your advise.

Hello Sir,

Thanks for your response.

I just noticed that due to antibiotic I've got constipation. It is hard to pass the tools, and geeting blood intermittently while passing tools. I do have piles for last 3 years, and I believe antibiotic just triggered it. Could you please suggest any medicine for clear & smooth motion? I'm already trying enough to get more fibers in my diet

once again thanks for your assistance.

Thanks,

Brief Answer:
We should not assume that

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

We should not assume that your symptoms may be due to antibiotic but cannot be ruled out. It is not good to take medicine for clear & smooth motion, if your symptoms are due to antibiotics(since there is presence of blood). You can instead take fibre rich diet and good amount of water. But, a Physical examination is mandatory to assess this since there are variety of other causes that needs to be ruled out.

Take care..

Hello Sir,

I noticed not much improvement in my urine lekage and frequent urine urgency even after continues use of levoday for 5 days. I went to my doctor today, and he asked me to go for urine microscopic test. There is nothing much found in urine microscopic test as well, and he asked for CT scan. I did my CT scan today, and waiting for reports.

Apart from these my doctor advised me following 2 tablets to continue for 2 weeks.

1 Urimax 0.4mg
2.Primox 25mg

I was reviewing Urimax tablet online, and came to know that Urimax 0.4mg is usually given when anybody is having compliant of frequent urination. However, I also came to know that from few users that after taking Urimax 0.4mg their problem of frequent urination has worsen now, and they are urinating more than before. I would just like to know your opinion that should I continue using this tablet. Do I need to worry about any worst affect? I'm quite concerned about the use of Urimax, and would like to know your openion on that.

Thanks,
XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
please wait for the CT scan results

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I suggest you to please wait for the CT scan results. We can get much information from that which can help in planning management. However, I cannot comment on, you taking the prescribed tablets by your treating doctor as I did not do physical exam and he did. Anyhow, I can suggest you that online posts will be by lay people with minimum medical knowledge, which cannot be generalized for all individuals. Follow you doctor's advise more than them.

Take Care!
