How we manage Urinary Tract Infections at Plum Health DPC in Detroit

At Plum Health DPC in Detroit Michigan, we help our patients with several different medical problems, from high blood pressure, to diabetes, weight loss, and urinary tract infections and so many more.

At our office, it costs about $3 to run a urinalysis and about $6 for a urine culture. If you’d like to test for chlamydia and gonorrhea, it costs about $23. We usually test for this as there can be overlap in symptoms for a urinary tract infection and a sexually transmitted infection. We also run a pregnancy test for free, to make sure that it’s safe to give antibiotics.

As for treatment of urinary tract infections, we typically use antibiotics like Bactrim (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) or Nitrofurantoin. The Bactrim is about $0.86 (86 cents) for a course of therapy and the Nitrofurantoin is about $2 for a course of treatment.

Thanks for reading and watching, and have a wonderful day.
