Diagnosed With A Urinary Tract Infection After Kidney Surgery, Pain In Side After Walking. How To Clear It ?

My husband has just been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection,
after having had Kidney surgery over six months ago, without any symptoms,

over the Labor Day Week End, it was hot, my husband walked quite extensively,
three hours, and developed pain in his side.

After having visited the Veteran's Hospital twice now in two week, he was finally given
Ciproflaxin, is this the same horse pill, we used to take when we had a bladder infection,

the Big Red Pill?

His Wife, Just inquiring,

He has significantly reduced pee , and we're both wondering if this antibiotic,
will keep reducing his ability to go pee, the one and only symptom, we were hoping
to clear up?


Thanks. AAAA

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Ciprofloxacin belongs the the fluroquinolone family of antibiotics. It is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections.

An urinary tract infection can involve the bladder, urethra, ureter or kidneys. It is used to treat infections of any of these areas so it is possible that you may have used it previously to treat another urinary tract infection.

The colour of a tablet would vary depending on whether it is generic or brand and also which company is manufacturing the tablet.
It would not possible to determine if it is the same tablet without the name.

I hope this helps
