Brief Answer:
they can

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

there is no interaction between them. The question is why use those drugs together instead of a cephalosporin for example which should cover for most respiratory and urinary tract infections. But the answer is that there is no interaction between them and they can be used together.

Kind Regards!

Dr Zografakis,
Thank you for answering my question. I'm not sure how I missed it earlier.
I was being treated by two different Dr's and I forgot to tell the second one
about the Macrobid which I take prophylactally.
Thank you again I appreciate your response.
Sincerely, XXXXXXX Yuan.

You should tell them

Detailed Answer:
You're welcome!

It's very important to tell your doctor any medical problems you may have and any drugs you may be taking. In this case it won't make a huge difference but it could matter a lot under different circumstances.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
