TREATMENTS FOR CYSTITIS
- Alternative Antibiotics for Cystitis: Fluoroquinolones
- Do not use ampicillin because resistance rates are high and efficacy for UTI is low (Barber et al., 2013)
- Beta-lactam antibiotics can be given but are not as effective with a high rate of resistance (Barber et al., 2013)
- Fluoroquinolones are highly effective but increasing resistance is concerning (Barber et al., 2013), so they are saved for other conditions such as pyelonephritis or when other options fail (Lee & Neild, 2007)
