UTI & Cystitis Antibiotic UK

Selexid 200mg Tablets (Pivmecillinam) are a prescription-only penicillin-class antibiotic (beta-lactam) used to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly acute cystitis.

That burning feeling when you pass urine… the urgency that won’t go away — classic signs of a UTI.

With its narrow-spectrum antibiotic action, Selexid focuses on the bacteria most commonly responsible for UTIs, making it a widely used option in UK clinical practice.
