Frequent Need to Urinate
by Denied, Oct 08, 2005 12:00AM
Hiya, am a thirty-four year old male in good health. I just went to the doctor for a sinus infection and was put on anti-biotics, KETEK, and was given claritin 24 hour. I have been on the medicine for about two day when all of a sudden I started getting the urge to urinate. Even when I get done urinating I feel like I need to go again. I do not seem to have any problem going it is just the frequency. I spoke to a nurse this morning and she assured me that the medicine I am using does not have this side effect. My urine is not discolored it is for the most part clear. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

I am not aware of urinary frequency being a side effect of this medication.
Other causes can be infection, or metabilic diseases like diabetes or diabetes insipidus.
Further evaluation can be done via a urinalysis and fasting blood test for sugar.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
