A member asked:
If your urine culture came back negative do you need to still take cipro (ciprofloxacin) and if so why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complete the course: If you start an antibiotic treatment to treat a presumed infection before the culture results are available then it is desirable to complete the treatment course even if the culture comes back negative to prevent any undetected germs from developing resistence to the antibiotic if they are exposed to an inadequate dose
