Abstract

Background: Investigating the Effectiveness of Combined Antibiotic Therapy for Recurrent Cystitis in Females. A study was conducted on twenty women with recurrent cystitis who received combination antibiotic therapy. The primary outcome measure for cystitis was the absence of all clinical and laboratory indicators of infection. The secondary objective was to assess symptom improvement related to cystitis. The findings revealed that, after using the combination antibiotic medication, cystitis symptoms disappeared completely in 18 out of the 20 women (90%), while 2 women (10%) experienced symptom improvement. According to these results, combination antibiotic therapy seems safe and effective for women with recurrent cystitis.
