Should I Need To Take The Missed UTI Medicines?
hi, i had a UTI and my doctor prescribed urizone the antibiotic and uripas. i took the urizone immediately and i have been taking the uripas irregularly. I was supposed to take it three times a day for five days. since then five days have passed and i am left with four pills. i am currently experiencing no symptoms of the UTI. will this affect the treatment of the UTI?must i continue to take these pills even though five days have passed? and how long do i have to wait until i can have sex with my husband again?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You would need to complete the course as prescribed. It would be best to complete it even though no symptoms are present. This prevents recurrence and, in the case of antibiotics, reduces the chance of antibiotic resistance.
In terms of sexual activity, you can continue this as normal. Make sure to empty your bladder before and after sexual intimacy to reduce the chance of an UTI.
I hope this helps
