Nitrofurantoin

Nitrofurantoin and cranberry products may reduce recurrent UTI episodes in children when used as prophylaxis, according to the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis published in Pediatrics.

Opioid and teratogenic medication prescriptions decreased and prescriptions for medications for diabetes and mental health conditions increased among pregnant women after 2010 in the U.S., researchers reported.

Study findings published in EClincialMedicine showed that more than 85% of patients in England who are diagnosed with a lower UTI in primary care receive an antibiotic on the same day, and that most do not have a recorded urine test within 10 days of diagnosis.
