A member asked:

I have been taking cefuroxime for 3 wks for orchitis.my doctor gave me norfloxacin recently.is it ok to take them together?will it foster resistance?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use caution: Possibly ok but check with your prescribing doctor. Or Orchitis treatment should be complete by 3 weeks. Why did they add quinolone (levoflox)?
