Can I Take A Safer Alternative Of Ciprofloxacin For The Treatment Of A UTI?
I was at Dr office today for UTI (haven't had in decades). She prescribed ciprofloxacin tablets which is antibiotic? How can I take something with serious side effects such as death? I'm scared to take any esp if one risk being over 60. I'm 65. Maybe she can prescribe something else?
