A member asked:

I was prescribed cipro and trimethoprim at the same time. for uti. never beed prescribed 2 antibiotics at the same time. each to be taken 1 pill every 12 hours. is it normal practice? can i even take them together or its some kind of mistake?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is unusual. yes you can take them together. This can occur if there are two different type of organisms grown in your urine each sensitive to a different antibiotic. The best person to ask is your prescriber. Suggest you see a Urologist next time
