Brief Answer:
CLARITHROMYCIN IS NOT USEFUL TO TREAT UTI.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

1) You need to undergo one Urine Examination - Routine & Culture to determine better drug treatment. One Blood sugar (PPBS) test will be worthwhile along with above urine test.

2) Cephalosporin and Fluoroquinolone (like Norfloxacin, Ofloxacin etc) are the FIRST line drug treatment to cure Urinary Tract Infection. Clarithromycin is NOT useful in this case. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from your doctor.

3) You can take URINE ALKALISER along with prescribed antibiotic. In addition, you must drink plenty of water (2.5 to 3 lit/ day), take cranberry juice regularly, maintain genital hygiene (during sexual activity also), empty bladder in time, avoid unprotected sex and wear clean-cotton dress only.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr Soumen
