For Urinary Tract Infection: I received 4 pills and this thick liquid anti biotic shot Rocefin/Ceftriaxone . A shot never hurt me until I got this one, lol. The pain of the shot was so bad in my arm I could only laugh. The doctors told me that’s all I needed I didn’t have any follow up antibiotic which kind of concerns me but maybe I’ll take some over the counter antibiotics to be sure it’s treated. After 2 days of taking the pills and the shot my UTI symptoms have already faded it actually worked great. |

For Urinary Tract Infection: Day two of this very strong antibiotic and I think I'm out of all farts left to give, is it a fart or more severe diarrhea from this pill? I wander yet again helplessly into the bathroom. Unaware that I evidently eaten something disgusting at some point, as I see it evacuates from my now flaming hot butt. Flushing the toilet provides no relief from the horrid antibiotic gut stench and splash back creates a new horror of germs taking residence on my butt cheeks. I'm left wondering when I had time to eat a pile of something so disgusting as the smell indicates? I don't know. Pray for my bum. It hurts. 5 more days to go. On a positive note: the UTI is absolutely better! I took the first antibiotic at 11:30am and I stopped burning/urgent urinating by 4pm. Very effective for UTI.
