Brief Answer:
Can take Alprim until you see your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,

I am sorry for the recurrent urinary tract infection ( UTI ) you are experiencing.

As the symptoms are back again and you cannot see your doctor, then can take Alprim hoping that will cover your infection too.

After finishing the course with alprim, I advise to wait for at least 3 days (to up to 10 days) and repeat urine analysis and urine culture in order to identify the right causative agent and the right antibiotic to fight it. This will help eradicate the UTI problems you are having.

Wish fast recovery!
