A member asked:

Oral cefuroxime + oral doxycycline + oral clindamycin + fusidic acid eyedrops + mupirocin good 4 resistnt staph infection? better suggestions (no iv)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Target.: Where is the infection? This seems like a lot of untargeted therapy. But maybe you have been rx this as an attempt at eradication of MRSA carrier state? I would suggest getting the results of the sensitivity testing and choosing one antibiotic.
