There are a few antibiotics for UTI. I don't think taking a different brand would make much difference. What drug is it?
Most of the antibiotics have side effects.

Abdominal reactions are normal for antibiotics. It is not caused by taking two different brands, as long as they're the same drug with the same directions for use, and you took the appropriate doses at appropriate times, the brand doesn't matter.

using a different brand of the same drug would not make any difference.
But UTI's do also affect the abdominal area as that is where the bladder lives. There is no reason not to take something for the pain

is it prescribed by a doctor?
how many mg did you take?
antibiotics have a side effects..
i dont think you took twice antibiotics in 1 unless it was prescribed by a doctor..
antibiotics should be taken in a course because if not the bacteria will become resistant to that kind of antibiotics..and you will need a higher dose for it..
and also you have to eat before you take antibiotics because it can cause stomach upset..

The other brand may have some other ingredients in the capsule which may not be suiting you. Stick to the good brand. Also, take some B vitamins to compensate for the loss of good bacteria in the intestines.
