I have a first urinary tract infection at age 62 (male). Is it recommended to take Ciprofloxacin 500 mg every twelve hours for 10 days?

Good evening ma'am,
It may seem like a long treatment, but that is indeed the recommended length of time to treat a UTI in men (as you can see here on page 5).
In other words, even if the symptoms come and go after 5-7 days, it's important to keep going until the full treatment time is completed.
Happy evening,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
