Treatment duration of pivmecillinam in men, non-pregnant and pregnant women for community-acquired urinary tract infections caused by Escherichia coli: a retrospective Danish cohort study
ConclusionsWith the current data, where data on clinical classification of theE. coli UTI were missing, a 5 day treatment with pivmecillinam at 400 mg three times daily seems to be the rational recommendation for lower UTI in men, pregnant women and women>50 years old. A 3 day regimen seems sufficient for non-pregnant women<50 years old.
