A member asked:
Is it safe to take antibiotics ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim together at the same time? are there any interactions?

Antibiotics: You can but i don't see why, they have similar coverage. Is this prescribed by one physician?

Yes: You can take them together. No major interactions to contraindicate them. I recommend that you take a probiotic supplement to prevent diarrhea and clostridium difficile infection in the guts.
