Urine infection
I have a UTI right now and sometime told me to take Novefos sachet for it. I thought it's like Citro soda which I'm used to taking. But after taking it I realised that it's an antibiotic. Now I need to know the correct dosage and for how many days I need to take it as I don't want to take it in the wrong dosage. Thank you.

Novefos is a second line antibiotic for UTI.. That means if first line medicines donot work then we think of giving it.
If you have already taken it, just wait and watch your symptoms. Go for urine culture and sensitivity after a week.
Drink plenty of fluids
