Emergency UTI treatment under review: study aims to cut unnecessary antibiotic use
NCT ID NCT07559318
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how doctors can improve antibiotic prescriptions for urinary tract infections (UTIs) after patients leave the emergency department. Researchers will check if adjusting antibiotics based on lab test results reduces the use of strong drugs like fluoroquinolones. About 330 adults with mild UTIs will take part, and the goal is to promote safer, more targeted antibiotic use.
