Hopefully nothing like the above happens and she is better soon.
Read your reply and i have been monitoring her 1st 2 dosage of the medication. So far no ill side effects yet. I think we are ok with the medication.

Thanks for the heads up.

I didn't get the prescription filled at a pharmacy. The doctor had a boxes of the medicine in her office, she hand me a box. From the label on the box it looks like it's from Denk Pharma. Registered and made in Germany. Cost me $5.60.

Don't know if that's a good price or not but I figure she would know if it's fake or not and save me the hassle of filling the prescription at a dodgy pharmacy.
More than fair, you will struggle to find the German Cipro cheaper than that.

UPDATE

My girlfriend completed the full 5 days of medication.

Everything is fine now. Started getting better after 2 days. The doctor was correct when she said it was a common UTI and prescribed Cipro for it. No test or lab work needed.

My opinion only:

Knowing what I know now. If I was here and GF started complaining about the symptoms (instead of 4 to 5 weeks later, when I got back), I would most likely start her on 500mg Ciprofloxacin right away. Monitor the situation for a couple of days. If things don't improve, schedule her in to see a qualify doctor. If things are improving continue the ciprofloxacin for full 5 days.

Please be very careful with your own hygiene, to avoid further infection for her (and you).

Only way to catch a UTI is if you’ve got an STI.

It isn’t normally transmit-able usually from gut bacteria, weakened immune, abnormalities etc.

I don't know. Bacterial prostatitis? Not an STD....

Right, but is that transmissible?

I haven’t followed the thread but is that what she’s got, prostatitis and UTI?

Um. No.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
