Urinary Tract Infection
"My mother is 84 and was given this drug for a mild UTI.  After 2 doses, she became so confused she didn&#039;t know where she was or who I was.  Her muscles were so weak she could not move or stand.  She was paranoid and manic at times.  Her potassium dropped very low.  She was in the hospital 4 days.  They immediately took her of it, gave her IV&#039;s and potassium.  Tested her for stroke and dementia, which were negative.  She is home and better but it took several weeks.  Not a good drug, especially for elderly.  She now takes D-Mannose 1000mg/day, 2000mg for any UTI symptoms."
