Is Bactrim The Right Medication For UTI?
I am taking Bactrim (substitute SMZ-TP DS for a Uterine tract infection. I am male and have taken 4 pills in the last 2 days from a 10 day prescription. Is it too early for any noticeable improvement? I am having difficulty getting a decent urine stream. I feel the urge and the burning in the urethra but often times I get just a few drops. IOtherwise I feel fine, but still concened. I will call my doctor Monday, in any case, but if you could tell me what you think. Thank you

I understand your concern
Bactrim is the very effective against the UTI.
UTI will resolves once you complete the treatment, after 10 days.
Do not worry.
Along with this take following advises:
Tablet pyridium, tablet nitrofurantoin
Syrup cital
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND DRINK JUICE OF CRANBERRY, ORANGE AND PINEAPPLE
Do not delay in empty the bladder and empty it completely.
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene.
Hope this may help you
