I'm a bit worried about a UTI during my pregnancy and I'm trying to figure out if C tax O 200 mg and Taxim O 200 mg are the same thing. Also, is it safe to take while I'm two months pregnant? My test results showed epithelial cells 5 to 6 hpf, pus cells 3 to 5 hpf with occasional clumps, occasional granular casts, and a few bacteria. Could you help me understand this better?
