Can Ceftin Intake For UTI Be Stopped Abruptly Without Taking The Complete Course?
I was given the antibiotic ceftin to take for 5 days 2 pills each day. I've taken it for 2 and a half days. now the doctor tells me I do not have a urinary tract infection due to further testing of my urine. The ceftin did help with the frequent urine and burning. Is it okey to stop taking the antibiotic at this time?

Yes 5 days antibiotics are good enough to cure urinary tract infection if the organism is sensitive and symptoms resolve as seems in your case.
