2 grams a day. 500 mgs 4 times a day. When it mixes with mendelamine it
becomes very potent at making your bladder a hard place for bacteria to
live.

anti-infectives
vitamin C along with mendelamine creates a hostile environment for most
critters. It is still important to take acidophilus while on these types of
drugs. It helps replace the good bacteria. Any antibiotic will usually
wipe out the good bacteria with the bad. It is always a good idea to
make sure your change in medicine doesn't stir up mass amounts of
sediment and cause a clog. Irrigating is smart because it really does take
out any high volumes of infection and you can understand what bug and
strength of bug you have. You can do your own testing for Ph. I have used a
mild vinegar solution in the sterile water but not when looking for test
urine. Oh, rinse with sterile water after you rinse with vinegar. You
could administer other mild anti-biotics this way too. But I didn't tell you
that. I'm white vinegar should chemically break down the stuff that
stones are made of. But your bladder will disolve before the stones do if
you actually rinsed with the amount it would take to reduce a large stone.
When you talk to your doctor, don't be shy about wanting certain drugs
available and why. Try to get as clean catch as possible. You're
getting very intimate germs from whoever helps you. If you can keep it with
only one or two people you are best off. Catching germs from family seems
less virulent and survival. Day cares are radioactive! So, you can imagine
what the b'girls leave you with. If you have a wife or girlfriend that takes
care of your catheter,, well, you lucky SOB. I've had infections that put me
in an ambulance in under 10 hours. It's like a house with mice. You can
knock down the population but you will still need the traps. Even in "clean"
caths, sterilize everything your going to use. Have your aid press
on your bladder as she/he removes the catheter. Do not let up until the
catheter is completely out. You can trigger you own bladder
spasms to empty your bladder by gently pounding your lower abdomen. I
repeat, GENTLY. To much compression can damage your ureters and once your
back flowing to your kidneys, well you have an end stage problem.
Did you know that you can attach bed bags so they drain to each other?
Handy tip if your in a hospital where they don't know what they are doing.
It sure seems like they would have some kind of external catheter for women
by now. They have some new adhesives that someone should be testing.
I hope that's some help?
