Thanks for asking!: The simple answer is that it depends on many factors, and what we would call the art of medicine. You see, there are many factors in considering which medication to treat your uti-if you are pregnant we would not want to give you cipro, (ciprofloxacin) and could chose Azithromycin or amoxicillin. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is a good choice for non-pregnant females who are not allergic to it because it tends to have less resistance.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin): Cipro (ciprofloxacin) would have a better chance of curing a UTI than would Azithromycin which is less active against gram negative enteric bacteria and does not achieve high levels in the urine.
