Polypharmacy guidance: realistic prescribing
- Evidence of no benefit for treating asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in diabetes or older adults
- Review use of long term antibiotics for recurrent UTI (every 6 months)
- Lack of evidence for antibiotic use in preventing catheter-associated ASB
CAUTION: Pulmonary/renal ADRs; avoid in renal impairment; contraindicated if eGFR<30ml/min
