HI.
This is a very good question.
There are certain infections in the body which take a long time to settle and get ''cured''. Martifur is given for the complete cure. It can be taken for 1 to 3 weeks. IF the Pain in abdomen and other symptoms are gone and the urine microscopy and culture and sensitivity reports are normal you may stop this. Also advisable in all patients having similar problems is to get an ultrasonography done.
