On Anticoagulation?: If you are taking a blood thinning agent like warfarin, the antibiotic may be decreasing your ability to clot; talk to your doctor or allied health professional about it.

No: If you are having blood in the urine you need to be seen by a doctor and re-evaluated. Am assuming, since you were wiping, that you are a woman. Are you sure the blood is not vaginal?
