I have been on nitrofurantoin for UTI's before. It usually takes 2-3 days to start to feel better. When I have a UTI, I use AZO-Standard in addition to the antibiotic. You can get it OTC at the drugstore. this medication acts as a bladder anesthetic and will stop the horrible bladder spasms and allow you to pee a full bladder instead of a few drops at a time.
Best Answer: UTI's are so not fun... 6 weeks! Good thing you finally went to the doctors, because if UTI's are not properly treated with antibiotics your kidney could become inflamed and severly infected. That is what happened to me. I had intense pain in my lower back and i felt sick to my stomach.
