Hi. I'm currently taking Escitalopram for depression and Penicillin for a throat infection. I have read that there should be no side effects, but I now have gross hematuria and pain when I pee. Is this because of my taking them both together? Should I see my physician?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. In most cases this is caused by urinary infection or urinary stones so you should do urine analysis, urinoculture and kidneys ultrasound to rule these out. Also, vesicoureteral reflux may be possible cause which is anomaly of bladder but can be easily treated. You should drink raspberry tea and plenty of water till you do tests- Also, avoid sexual intercourse and have keep good hygiene. You should reduce salt in your diet as well. In most cases this is self limiting but sometimes antibiotics are required and more invasive tests such as cystoscopy or J prothesis insertion. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
