I went to my doctor today for URI symptoms with diagnosis of sinsus infection. I was prescribed Biaxin and started taking it tonight. This evening I am having urinary burning and frequency consistent with a UTI. Will the Biaxin cover both or should I call the office?
You have been prescribed clarithromycin drug which will not cover UTI fully.
So you should consult a nearby doctor for getting prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotic like cefixime.
I suggest you investigate with urine routine microscopic examination and revert back with reports.
You should take Cranberry juice extract tablet and potassium citrate syrup as well for UTI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
