Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Both of the medications that you mentioned are antibiotics. They are used to treat different types of infections including urinary tract infections, ear infections, skin infections, infections involving the upper respiratory tract.
It would be difficult to say,in the absence of any symptoms listed to say what they are using it for.
It is unusual to use two antibiotics for the infections listed.
Two types of antibiotics are sometimes used for other types of infections than those these medications are recommended for.
I hope this helps
