This combination is highly effective against most aerobic enteric bacteria except P. aeruginosa. High urinary tract tissue levels and urine levels are achieved, which may be important in complicated infection treatment. Also effective as prophylaxis for recurrent infections. Well tolerated, low cost. Palienls with sulfa allergies may preclude its use. 

Urinary tract infections Urinary tract infections (complicated and uncomplicated), including pyelonephritis and cystitis (initial and recurrent) caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Citrobacter sp., and Serratia marcescens. 

Acute uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by E. coli and other pathogens generally respond promptly to one of the short-acting sulfonamides. Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), when related to some structural abnormality in the tract, are frequently caused by sulfonamide-resistant bacteria. 

The dosage for urinary tract infection in adults is 100 mg orally taken four times daily. The drug should not be used to treat upper urinary tract infection. Oral nitrofurantoin can be given for months for the suppression of chronic urinary tract infection. It is desirable to keep urinary pH below 5.5, which greatly enhances drug activity. A single daily dose of nitrofurantoin, 100 mg, can prevent recurrent urinary tract infections in some women. 

Echinacea has been used investigationally to enhance hematologic recovery following chemotherapy. It has also been used as an adjunct in the treatment of urinary tract and vaginal fungal infections. These indications require further research before they can be accepted in clinical practice. E purpurea is ineffective in treating recurrent genital herpes.

A vaginal vaccine has been developed for the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infections. The multistrain vaccine, composed of 10 heat-killed bacterial uropathogenic strains, has been shown to be efficacious against cystitis in non-human primates when administered by the vaginal route.

A 46-year-old woman with previous extensive urological problems, including ureteric stricture and recurrent urinary tract infections, was given pethidine in a total cumulative dose of 1500 mg postoperatively over 12 hours when she presented with a single tonic-clonic seizure that lasted 30 seconds. The pethidine concentration was 1200 ng/ml and the norpethidine concentration 2100 ng/ml.
