UTI: That depends on the urine culture and sensitivity testing results. Review with your pcp.

Need more info: The interaction you’re talking about, while major in some patients, may not apply (you’re relatively young and may be low-risk for other reasons). First check in with your doctor about whether that interaction is of concern (if not, other drugs don’t apply). Other options depend on your gender and other factors - there are too many different possibilities with the limited information provided.
