Suggest An Alternative Of Ciprofloxacin
I've been prescribed Ciprofloxacin for a UTI--3 days, 6 pills, 250 MG. I've been reading about the very serious side effects and am afraid to take it. I am allergic to sulfa so can't take Bactrim , etc. Is there another antibiotic (Keflex?) that would be just as effective without the serious side effects? Thank you.

All drugs have side effects , all antibiotics have side effects and your doctor may have prescribed it because it is needed and benefits are greater than side effects.
Hope I have answered the question.
