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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allCan I use coconut parachute oil as a lubricant for masturbation? Is it safe, or are there any side effects I should be aware of? Also, are there any other oils that might be better?
Coconut oil, including parachute coconut oil, can be used as a lubricant, as it's generally safe for external use. However, it may cause irritation or disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora for some people. It's important to test it on a small area of skin first, and if you experience discomfort, consider using a water-based lubricant specifically designed for intimate use.

I've been noticing recently that my urine flow seems to be slower than usual, and even after I finish urinating, it feels like I'm not completely done. It's a bit concerning because I keep expecting to have to go again soon, but it never really happens. Any idea what might be going on? Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might resolve on its own?
I went through your query...... Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out..... Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder. ....Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your problem has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate...... Consult Physician....
