Swallow the tablets with plenty of water. Complete the full antibiotic course exactly as prescribed and seek review if symptoms suggest kidney infection or fail to improve.

Fever, rigors, flank or kidney pain, vomiting, severe systemic illness, pregnancy or symptoms suggesting sepsis require a different clinical pathway and should not be managed as uncomplicated lower UTI.

Suitability is confirmed through clinical assessment. Prescription medicine is supplied only where clinically appropriate.
