Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
1. Montec LC is a very safe medicine and I have not observed any significant side effect in my patients till date. The only side effect is increased sleepiness. It is nothing to be concerned about.
2. The point is not correct. E.coli is a member of normal bacterial flora of our body. It is only when their count rises more than a particular level (in urine) that it is considered to be an infection. In case antibiotics are given, the sensitivity profile matters. Not all antibiotics are sensitive. If treated with antibiotics where there is resistance, or if treated with inadequate dose or for inadequate period of time, they would not be eliminated.
Let me know if I could be of further service.
Regards
