Question

My dad's been prescribed Cifran 500 mg twice a day for 10 days because he's dealing with a urine infection and prostate issues. He's been getting this faint stomach ache every time he takes it, which I read might be a side effect of Cifran. It's making him uncomfortable, especially when he's trying to sleep. What should we do about this?

Cifran was prescribed based on experience of the Doctor or it was based on urine culture and sensitivity. You may ask your doctor to change the antibiotics if he can. Minimal stomach ache will be there with 99% antibiotics
