Can Antibiotics Be Taken Along With Blood Thinners?
My wife is taking eliquis for blood clotting. She currently has a UTI and has been prescribed ciprofloxacin. Your description states there may be interactions with blood thinners - should we be concerned. Her regular physician prescribed both medications.
