I am 77 and have BPH. About 3 months back, I had UTI which was treated with cefixime and cured. The Dr. advised to take Urimax D and operation TURP. He also advised to take Niftas one daily until the surgery is done to prevent infection. Is it safe to take Niftas continuously for long periods? Do Urimax D and Niftas cause vertigo /dizziness?

Dizziness and vertigo is due to urimax, thats why it's advised to take it at bed time. And the symptoms are much more common if you are on antihypertesive medication, .so it's advisable to take antihyertesive medicine in day time and urimax just before going to bed. Niftran is the safest long term prophylactic antibiotic.
