Hello
Thanks for query.
You had UTI and your Dr has been giving Inj Magnex twice a day .

Magnex is comparative costly drug .Was urine culture done to find out the organisms causing infection and antibiotics to which they are sensitive to.

Normally we prescribe injectable antibiotics only in a situation when organisms are resistant to all commonly used antibiotics that are available in tablet form or infection is very severe ( Urosepsis.)

You can get culture test done if it turns out to be sterile you may discontinue taking Magnex else take antibiotics as per culture report .
