Suggest Medication With Minimal Side Effects For Urinary Tract Infection

I am looking for a low cost med for a urinary tract infection... one that has the fewest side effects! I have had the problem some years ago but cannot remember what drug was prescribed... once was penicillin, then something else which helped with the burning immediately. YYYY@YYYY
