Can Keflex Be Taken Along With Z-pak For Persistent UTI?

we are having URI problems at my house. I have it and my wife has it. i was prescribed KEFLEX 250 (1000mg/day) she was given Zpack 5 day. I have cleared up symptoms and she has not. could we switch her to the KEFLEX -- or even taking it simultaneously to help her symptoms?

Hello dear. for Urinary tact infection tablet Norflox will act better. Doctors usually prescribe it, twice a day for one week along with syrup citralka 5ml thrice a day for a week. Your wife can also try taking KEFLEX, but with consultation of your doctor, which may help her. No need of taking Z pack and KEFLEX together.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
