Comment:
Have been on Tamoxifen for 2 years and had 2 UTI's 4 months apart. Should have gone to the Urologist the first time. Anyway, turns out that Tamoxifen makes he bladder ruffled instead of smooth and the bacteria hides out. Have just switched to Arimidex for the next 3 years so I don't know how long I will be on this drug. Go back again in 6 months for a checkup. So far, so good.

I take two tablets of Cystex (contains 162 mg. of Methenamine) at night and it seems to have helped the recurrence of dreadful UTIs.
