Antibiotics after bladder botox: infection prevention or not?
NCT ID NCT04444440
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking the antibiotic ciprofloxacin for three days after bladder Botox injections reduces the risk of urinary tract infections in women with overactive bladder. About 202 women will be randomly assigned to receive either the antibiotic or a placebo pill. The main goal is to see if fewer infections occur in the antibiotic group over six weeks.
