hi, i habe been diagnosed with a uti the bacteria entercocci is the cause. i was given Augmentin but stopped taking it after 2 tablets because I started having trembles and pain in my legs at butt and lower back. ( that has subsided) uti has not fully resolved and would like to know what would be the best option: Just to take amoxycillin without the pottassium calvuate or Nitrofurantoin? both have sensitive results on the culture test.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!
I really appreciate your concern. You should start any of the above drug but if bacteria are sensitive to amoxycillin then you can have it. UTI should be treated completely with proper dosing. If you left your treatment halfway then it may lead to drug resistance. So please complete your antibiotic course and free from disease.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
