V07.8 or V07.9 might be approprite. Hope this helps.

I personally use V07.39 (Other prophylactic chemotherapy) when someone is given an antibiotic for prevention of infection for anything, ie dental work, UTI. I guess it would be optional to use V07.8 (Other specified prophylatic measure), but I consider an antibiotic a chemical. •Chemotherapy, in its most general sense, refers to treatment of disease by chemicals that kill cells, both good and bad, but specifically those of micro-organisms or cancer.*That was from the internet. This is the reason that I use it. In your case, I would also add V13.02 for Personal history of UTI, if that is the reason for the need to use a prophylactic measure for prevention of another UTI.
