Hi Dan,
Post-injury I was put on a sulpha tablet (Bactrum) a day (I forget the mgs) to prevent UTIs. Can't recall when I discontinued it.
250mgs of a broad spectrum antibiodic like CIPRO was pretty foolish. Shakespeare said "Let's kill all the lawyers...." I'm ready to kill several Drs right now. Incompetent turds! How so many graduate these days is scary!
Anyway ... I called all over on my own abt Chlorpactin to no avail. My Dr was unfamiliar with it. Big surprise! NOT! But I guess it was used way back when but is no longer.
In any case ... on the CareCure Community .... a spinal nurse suggested a good solution (betadine & saline), and my husband agreed, it sounded good to clean out one's bladder. I also found my thoughts on bladder pressure testing for those with foleys there. The jerk Urologist I went to recently suggested that as one test. My husband thoufght it made no sense in determining UTI causes.
BTW, my user name is Brinda41 there.

Hi Lori, My family doctor has gave me 7 sample packs of Levequin , but they are only 250mg, so I hope I don't get immune to levequin.He said he will look at my blood sample probaby tomorrow and see what he thinks from there. When I 1st got a supra pubic catheter put in about 5 years ago My Urologist Insisted I take cipro 250mg for 1 full year---I told him I felt very afraid of taking antibiotics for a YEAR....He said oh go ahead 250mg a day can't hurt you. Well come to find out now I'm resistant to cipro... I wonder if that UROLOGIST knew what he was talking about.Anyway hope we get better--- By the way Lori did you ever try that Bladder Flush again that you took years back??? I think you called it CLORPACTIN or something like that.
Thanks, Dan c-6 8 yrs, 2 months.- Car wreck
