I have a constant UTI. I am on anti biotics all the time. Docters want a culture but I can't take one unless I'm off antibiotics. How many days do I have to be off antibiotics so I don't recive a false negative reading but an accrate reading. 3 days wasn't long enoughto be off anti biotics last time. If I'm off antibiotics for 4 days I end up in the emergency room in pain and can't urinate. Help!
 
As long as it takes to get out of your body.
Drinking water will make it go faster but if you have been on the anti biotics for a ehile it will take longer because its deeper in your system
