What does your prescription bottle say?

Welll, this is almost exactly the same as your other question, but I will give you the same answer.
Since antibiotics are given by prescription, you need to follow your Dr's orders as they appear on the prescription label - the pharmacist will discuss the medication and its direction in detail with you. I have had one antibiotic that I took only once a day and others that were prescribed up to 4 times a day.
This kind of question needs to be directed to your Dr. - or you can get clarification of a prescription already filled from your pharmacist.

The normal course of treatment for a Urinary tract infection is Septra DS twice a day for a week to 10 days.

read the bottle the doctor should have noted it and if you are taking someone Else's be very careful i wouldn't suggest that you don't know what form of bacteria you have and you want one right for your weight and your chemistry. i am sure that didn't answer your question the usual amount depends on the antibiotic some have you at 4 and one i took which was chlyndamyacin was 1 a day for 5 days

As many times in a day as the doctor told you! Perhaps you should listen when the doctor hands you a prescription, or read the instructions on the packet!

Usually 3 times, after every meal. Counsult a physician before you take any anti biotics at all.

As the others have suggested... however since you are asking in the alternative medicine section you could, in addition, try drinking Cranberry juice, this has been shown to reduce symptoms of UTI.

all depends on the type of antibiotic you are taking, and can also depend on your age. your dr should prescribe you ab's based on your medical history, your symptoms, allergy history, and if this is the first time, vs multiple UTI's in the past.

Your Doctor should have told you that. Alternatively, look on the information leaflet supplied with the tablets.
