Selexid is used to treat:
- Infections of the bladder or tubes leading from the kidneys (urinary tract infections).
- Infections caused by a bacteria called Salmonella (salmonellosis).
You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after completing your prescribed course of Selexid.

- If you know you have any condition that can make your food pipe become narrow.
