Hi i have just been told i have a uti klebsiella or something and been given trimethoprim i am.terrified to take them i have severe anxiety about medication and dont think i am going to be able to take them
Hi Pauline
I dont wish to panic you but please do read the other forums on this site regarding thie antibotic. I personally took a 5 day course back in January and experience horredous side effects that well after the 5 days to time to subside. I had a reoccured Uti and refused to retake this med so was given another that was much more kinder and less side effects. I wishyou better and speedy recovery.

hi thank you I have read many reviews on this tablet and none are good my daughter was on this on and of for years with no side affects but my anxiety is to high to chance it I'm seeing doctor this morning to see what he suggests. thank you
Look at the Mimms website and the data should relieve your worries but if you have an infection I would have though it essential to take your medication..... some UTi's can worsen and do damage to the urinary system if
neglected........ It's best to kill the bugs off!
Hi Pauline
There are kinder antibiotics around and ones that don't wipe out the good bacteria. Please seek advice from your GP.
Take care
