Antibiotics for recurrent UTI

[Liza Alcayaga]

Is it advisable to use three types of antibiotics for recurrent UTIs?

Hi Liza,

This is certainly a converstaion to be had with pharmacist and GP. Consider raising this in a MAC meeting for the overall management of a resident with recurring UTI.

Consider using the UTI resources to guide practice: To Dip or Not to Dip User Guide to the Clinical Pathway
