Antibiotics before bladder Botox when urine has bacteria but no symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving antibiotics before botulinum toxin (Botox) injections into the bladder is helpful when you have bacteria in your urine but no symptoms. It is for people with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury who use self-catheterization.
