Postcoital prophylaxis reduces the incidence of recurrent cystitis.
A topic in Clinical Evidence summarizes the results of 4 RCTs (total n=251) in women with at least 2 episodes of cystitis per year. All four RCTs found that active treatment (co-trimoxazole, nitrofurantoin, or a quinolone) significantly reduced rates of cystitis (p<0.001 in one trial and p<0.0001 in three trials).
