Is Longer Dose Of Cipro Required As There Is An Urge To Urinate All The Time?
I have been on cipro for 3 days for inflamation in my bladder. The perscription is over today and although there is no burning or bleeding like there was to begin with, I feel the urge to urinate all the time and feel I need to be on medication longer.

Yes, your concern is very true.
In my hospital, I usually prescribe cipro minimum for 5 days.
Actually choice of antibiotic & duration of the course depends on severity of infection judged by parameters like presence or absence of fever, diabetic or not, complete blood count, number of pus cells in urine etc.
Please give me your details as per above mentioned parameters, so that I can advice u further accordingly.
Hope this information is satisfactory for you.
