Povidone-iodine cleansing plus formalin disinfection of the needle is a “simple, low-cost, and effective” nonantibiotic strategy to decrease infectious complications following transrectal ultrasound prostate biopsy, according to investigators.
Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole vs Amoxicillin Ups Hyperkalemia Risk
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is mostly excreted through the kidneys, and it can cause hyperkalemia by reducing potassium excretion.
