How is a bladder inflammation treated?

A bladder infection is typically treated with antibiotics. Your healthcare provider will prescribe an antibiotic based on the type of bacteria found during your urine tests. In order to adequately treat the infection, it’s important to take all of the antibiotics your provider prescribes.

Some commonly used antibiotics include:

• Nitrofurantoin.
• Sulfonamides (sulfa drugs).
• Amoxicillin.
• Cephalosporins.
• Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim®).
• Quinolones, such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro®).
