Would Augmentin Cure Uti?

Augmentin for urinary tract infection (UTI)
Augmentin is FDA-approved for treating UTI. According to the Infectious Diseases Society of America, Augmentin is not a first-choice antibiotic for UTI. It should be used when other medications such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole cannot be used.

How quickly does Augmentin work for UTI?

Most require 3 to 7 days of treatment. Within the first 1 to 2 days of starting your antibiotics, you'll probably notice your UTI symptoms start to fade away. If your UTI is more severe or you've had symptoms for a while before starting antibiotics, it might take a few more days for you to notice improvement.

Drugs commonly recommended for simple UTIs include:
  • Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra, others)
  • Fosfomycin (Monurol)
  • Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Macrobid)
  • Cephalexin (Keflex)
