Amoxicillin for pregnant woman with UTI: is it really safe?

[ceejhei]

^i am taking cefalexin too, generic lang din binili ko kasi ang mahal ng branded. i texted OB if okay lang,
she said yes its okay. since nasabi na nung isang sis dito na same lang formulation brand lang talaga pinagkaiba.

regarding Buko juice, my OB said its okay to drink pero nakaka dehydrate daw effect nun kasi iihi ka ng iihi, so kelangan mo din mag hydrate
best pa din daw ang water kasi cleanser talaga ito. so i skip buko juice na and take lots of water this time.

Ano ba tinitingnan sa result ng urinalysis? Yung result ko kasi lahat negative. RBC and WBC are within the normal range. Sa bacteria category lang yung mataas. Double sa normal. Sabi naman sa akin normal [textspeak!] daw mataas sa bacteria kasi may nasasama daw na vaginal discharge sa wee wee. Pero gaano ba dapat kataas ang bacteria? May UTI kaya ako? Hirap kasi ako mag pee.

Im 24weeks preggy. my UTI din ako my OB recommend "cefalexin" 3x a week..

[czel10]

ello po. 21-22 weeks preggy po ako... sabi kasi ng ob ko may uti daw po ako... nireseta niya yung cefuroxime 500 mg twice a day.. nagtake ako kanina and after mga 2hours nakramdam ako ng hilo at pag susuka.. im scared baka may effect ito kay baby kasi ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng uti.. help pls....mahina ako magtubig.. pero madalas naman ako magbuko juice...

[glyzza026]

I also took amoxicillin nong nagka-uti ako when I was pregnant sabi ni ob safe naman daw

[outandaboutph]

Hesitant ako mag antibiotics kaya kahit niresetahan na ako ni OB, hindi parin ako uminom. Inom lang ako ng inom ng water kaya lang feeling ko walang improvement. Magparepeat urinalysis ako this week if may improvement ba, kung wala, magtake na ako ng medications. Paano ba malaman sis if severe ang UTI or hindi?

Ito kasi results ng urinalysis ko last week:

White Blood Cell   5-10 /hpf
Red Blood Cell 0-2 / hpf
Epithelial Cells  Moderate
Bacteria  Moderate
Mucus Threads  Moderate
Amorphous urates  Many

ito naaalala ko.. kasi nagpa lab test ako nung first tri.

ang result ng saken is 6-8 sabi ng med tech tolerable at inom lang ng madaming tubig at buko juice.

pagbigay ko kay OB ng result, gusto nya normal which is 0-5 since preggy at prone talaga sa UTI. she recommended CranUTI. hindi ito gamot, capsule form ng cranberry extract should be taken 2x/day for a week

ang ginawa ko, 1x/day for a week ko lang ni take. well, i know my body well kesa kay OB. given naman na kasi na i drink lots of water. ayun, after a week ok na ulit 0-2 ang result ng urinalysis

[outandaboutph]

Alin ang 0-2 sis?

[Jaguar.Paw]

^ hi sis. sa bacteria part ata yan ng result. yung sayo moderate diba? hmm.. i think dapat "few" yon. tska may number corresponding it. check ko yung result nung sakin sis para mas clear.

kung hesitant ka mag take ng meds (like me), i suggest you take more water at buko juice. pero mas damihan mo ang water. tiisin mo na lang ang pabalik balik sa washroom  you can also drink cranberry juice. cranberries are good for prevent/lessen UTI.

Any medicine as long as prescribed by your OB Gyne can be followed. I had UTI while I was pregnant, we treated it kasi baka maipasa sa baby mas kawawa.

If you're not comfortable with taking medicines, find a natural alternative na din. Increase water intake, buko juice or cranberry juice.

[ghye]

I was prescribed cefalexin also before.  Then after 2 months I had UTI again but my OB didn't prescribe another medicine.  Instead she asked me to drink lots of water instead.  Also I was told that cranberry juice is also good for UTI and of course buko juice.  Kaya ayun, I drink a cup of cranberry in the morning, lots of water at work and buko juice during lunch then another cup of cranberry when I get home.  Then may baon ako na 1 liter of water in the bedroom during bedtime.

I had UTI last month, OB prescribed Cefalexin din. Took it every 6 hours for 6 days.

^ nahalukay ko na sis yung result.

EXAMPLE

Pus Cells: 6-8
Bacteria: Moderate

ang normal range sa pus cells is 0-5 then under "bacteria" dapat few

[outandaboutph]

Thanks mga sisses.. Uminom ako ng cranberry juice, 1/4 cup every 4 hours I don't know if saan ko nabasa iyan  then madaming tubig nga. Nagparepeat urinalysis ako last Saturday slightly turbid parin transparency, wala ng trace ng protein, WBC from 5-10 naging 3-5 na lang, kaso RBC from 0-2 naging 2-4, Ephithelial cells same parin moderate, bacteria and mucus threads wala na before both moderate, amorphous urates few before many siya.

Hindi ko sure if nag improve ba or hindi kasi nagkaroon ng figure sa RBC although nawala and bumaba iyong iba.
