(Abst.) Benefits and harms of antibiotics to prevent UTI in older adults
« on: February 26, 2021, 08:51:34 pm »

This study involved people over 55 being treated with antibiotics to prevent UTIs. I've heard of people with MS taking antibiotics as a preventative measure. According to this study, it does more harm than good.

From NTK Institute (February 19, 2021)--"The benefits and harms of antibiotic prophylaxis for urinary tract infection in older adults":
