Posted on Thu, 29 Dec 2016
Question: I have urinary track infection and had a culture done by my doctor - medicine he gave me after taking it, track infection came back - w ent to him yesterday and he took another culture and is now prescribing ampicillin 500 mg - in the meantime, this morning before taking this new medica tion, I notice brownish urine. No blood comes on the wiping tissue. Is this something to be concerned about but is this related to the infection. I've been drinking cranberry juice.
