Brief Answer:
Ciplox is useless as the bacteria is resistent, take Niftas as suggested

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Thanks for uploading the urine culture and sensitivity report.

As you can clearly see in the culture and sensitivity report, the bacteria is resistant to many antibiotics including Ciprofloxacin.

So I don't know why your doctor suggested Ciprofloxacin.

Please change it immediately and start Nittrofurantoin as advised by me before.

In addition to that, Ideally, pipercillin+tazobactem injection can be taken three times a day for 7 days.

Please visit your nearest hospital with the report for further treatment.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for the short reply, I have patients waiting for me at the clinic.
