Hi I went to dr on friday for severe stomic pain and blotting.dr gave me fagyl and ciprofloxacin because i have a history of daverticulitus. anyway i started to feel worse and went back today to find out i have a bladder infection and kidney problems. and c.t. scan showed a small case of daverticulitus. so she told me to stop taking flagyl and only take ciprofloxacin for three more days?
