Hello,
Thanks for Writing to Health Care Magic and putting trust in us regarding your Health related query.
I am Dr. Saleha and I have read your message in detail, I understand your concern and will try to help you in this.
When a person is going through
chemotherapy, one's immunity falls big time, this is the time when infections can attack more aggressively than usual. This is what seems to have happened with you, at a compromised immunity you probably have got germs that caused
Urinary tract infection in you.
Yes
cipro can definitely be used along with chemotherapy for a UTI, this drug is very effective and have been shown to have great coverage over the bugs which cause UTI commonly.
To address your concerns about the possible reaction of cipro with chemo drugs I will like to mention here that Cipro has no documented alarming adverse effect when used in a patient with chemo going on, it is in fact recommended for prophylaxis of infections in such patients.
So in my opinion Cirpo can be used without any concerns and unwanted side effects.
I hope this answers your question.If you have more questions, I am happy to answer.
Wish you lasting health.
Regards.
Dr.Saleha Saeed.
