Urinary Tract Infection, Urex Prescribed. Sudafed The Cause Of Infection ?
Question: can sudafed cause a uti or make is worse?
also they just gave me a script for urex...i haven't started yet is that an antibiotic?
Hi there,
Thanks for the query.
Sudafed is not known to cause or worsen sinus decongestant.
Urex,on the other hand i is a urinary tract antiseptic drug. It acts to prevent bacteria infection.
If you urine test indicates infection,then you will need a course of antibiotic preferably as suggested by urine culture and sensitivity tests.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any additional concerns, I will be available for follow ups
