NCT ID NCT07648290

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether giving patients a standing prescription for antibiotics to use at the first sign of a UTI after Botox for overactive bladder reduces unplanned healthcare visits. 260 women scheduled for Botox will either get the self-start prescription or follow standard triage care. The goal is to see if the self-start approach lowers calls, messages, and emergency visits for urinary symptoms.
