Urinary anti-infectives

What are Urinary anti-infectives?

Urinary anti-infectives are drugs that are used to prevent or treat urinary tract infections. There are several classes of antibacterial agents in this category and they have different mechanisms of action. However, majority of these drugs tend to have high concentration in the urine and therefore are ideal to treat urinary tract infections, or used as prophylaxis for urinary tract infections.
