P:  Recommend sending today’s urinalysis for culture. She can try Pyridium, which may help with her symptoms now.

Discuss in two days’ time to see if the urine has completely cleared. At that time, if this is a negative urinalysis, C&S, then we would increase the Detrol LA to 4 mg per day.   What symptoms might the diuretic relieve?
