Does Morphine Interfere With Antibiotics Taken For A UTI?

Does Morphine interfere with a UTI while taking antibodics at the hospital? Because last month my man was hospitalized for a UTI and he was better in 2 days, but on the 3rd day he became severly ill, and he ended up spending 9 days in the hospital. When we got home I read the instructions for after discharge the hospital gave us upon leaving, at stated his Primary Diagnosis was: SEPSIS DUE TO URINARY TRACT INFECTION, Two days ago we came back to ER for a follow-up, and they admitted him back in the hospital, and now we are still waiting for another urine test to check Microbe count? His hospital medication consists of 2 IV bag: Sodium Chloride- 1000ml and (Levofloxacin) w/added pain killer, plus the Morphine and Blood Thinner drug by shot 3 times a day. Does the Morphine and Blood Thinner shot interfere with the antiboitic

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
These two medications can be taken together since there is no scientific evidence that some interactions or serious side effects exist. SO if there is medical indication then it can be taken just be sure to take it in recommended dosage. Also, you must be sure that you are not allergic to any ingredient of these drugs. If you start to feel any signs such as breathing difficulties or rash, you should stop medications and see doctor.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
