Hello lybrate-user. You are suffering from urine infection. Sensitivity means these group of medicine works good on you to prevent infection. Show this report to the doctor to whom you consult. He can advice you better and for how many days you have to take medicine. Along with medicine you have to drink plenty of water also. Thank you.
