Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at HCM virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1. First of all do not panic.

You might have been suffering from symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI).
Your treating doctor must have given these medicines for the same.
3. Nitrofurantoin is a safe drug for use during pregnancy. It has a good spectrum activity to cure UTI.
4. Urispas contains urinary analgesic and anti spasmodic agent that helps to control pain during urination.
5. Trapic is a Tranexamic acid preparation that helps to control bleeding.
6. I usually suggest to my pregnant patients with UTI as follows-
a) Drink plenty of water- 2 to 2.5 liters per day.
b) Citrus fruits and fruit juices, coconut water
c) Use of urinary alkalinizers like Sodium citrate syrup.
d) Continue antibiotics for 5 to 7 days period.
e) If symptoms persist or recur urine culture and sensitivity test will be of hep to find out the exact pathogen and the most effective antibiotic.
It is very important to treat urinary tract infection thoroughly during pregnancy, so as to prevent further complications.
