Title: Immitrex and a UTI?
Post by MegRedmon on Nov 28^th, 2005, 10:36am

Good morning,

This is my first post :-) I am a 26 year-old female, 7 year suffer of this horrible syndrome. I have learked for years, but never posted. Ya'll have been a great support. Those around me dont quite understand, but are very supportive. Ya'll understand!

My question. My past 2 clusters I have gotten UTI's. They are the only UTI's I have EVER gotten in my life. The only common denominator is that I am going through a cluster and take Immitrex 1-3 times a day. Has anyone else gotten UTI's while takeing high dosages of Immitrex?

BTW, UTI means Urinary Track Infection.

Thanks!
Megan

I have never experienced a UTI while taking Imitrex. Did you read the packet for the Imitrex? Is a Urinary Tract Infection one of the side effects?

Yes, I have read the package and it doesnt say anything. I just think its weird I have gotten them during two clusters. I have not spoken to my doctor about this corolation. I will do that soon.

Sounds like a plan!

IMHO, drink 2 quarts of cranberry juice every day to treat the UTI and use whatever you need to relieve the CH.
