Brief Answer:
Take both...One is antibiotics..One is to help with urination difficulties!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

These medications are not both antibiotics. Rapaflo is used to increase urinary flow and ease urination difficulties. Ciprofloxacin is the only antibiotic here and being used to treat the infection. They do different jobs and there is no reason to get worried about taking both.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
