FAQs
Q. How long does Saftoin take to work on a UTI?
Saftoin starts acting quickly, but you will not start feeling better immediately after taking it. It may take a few days (2-3 days) before you see any improvement in your symptoms. If you do not start feeling better within 3 days of starting Saftoin or your condition worsens, contact your doctor. It is important to complete the full course of Saftoin as advised by your doctor, even if you start feeling better.
Q. What happens if you take Saftoin without food?
You should take Saftoin with your meal or straightaway after the meal. Taking with food helps in absorption of medicine so that it works better. If you take it without food, you are likely to get an upset stomach. The symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite may also occur. Therefore, to avoid unpleasant side effects, take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Q. Does Saftoin make your urine orange?
Saftoin may turn your urine brown or dark yellow in colour. However, you need not worry as this is usually temporary and completely harmless effect. It will disappear once you stop taking Saftoin. Consult your doctor if you are not sure or still have any concern, but do not stop taking Saftoin.
Q. Can Saftoin give you a yeast infection?
Yes, some people may get a fungal or yeast infection known as ‘thrush’ after taking Saftoin. This is because antibiotics kill the ‘good bacteria’ which help in preventing thrush. You should inform your doctor if you get vaginal itching or discharge after taking Saftoin or soon after stopping it.
