Doctor started me on pivmecillinam and still on Tamsulosin, he said that Tamsulosin sometimes cause infection so hopefully this will help, as I also have CKD, I am worried about the lack of urine been passed as I have no control at the minute.
Hello kinlar
So sorry to read of your issues. I assume the antibiotics are for a suspected UTI? If the situation continues as it is over the weekend - in view of the CKD I would be back to the GP on Monday.
The issues you have are the lack of control and if you are worried about the CKD ask for a blood test to check on your eGFR.
In the meanwhile if it gets any worse over the weekend call 111 or visit A& E.
Best wishes - Brian.
