VUR prophylaxis11/13/2007 |
My 4 yr. old son has been recently diagnosed VUR (right gr.I and left gr. III) in urinary tract. He is on SEPTRAN (Cotrimoxazole ) prophylaxis. One doctor has suggested me 4mg/kg in 2 divided doses of Cotrimoxazole whereas other has given 2 mg/kg at night. What should I do? What precaution should I take so he doesn’t get urine infection again?
Generally, 1 - 1 1/2 tsp at bedtime is sufficient. It is important to brush the teeth after giving the medication to prevent dental caries (cavities), because the drug is heavily sweetened.
