Is It Safe To Take Bactrim Along With Clindamycin?

can I take Bactrim with clindamycin? I have a UTI. It is Sunday. I have the clindamycin for a dental extraction tomorrow. I took it but it does not seem to work as well as Bactrim for the UTI that just came up by surprise. (I took the first dose of clindamycin after the UTI occurred)

I warmly Welcome you!


Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic HCM.


These can be taken together but I preferably suggest you to take antibiotic for UTI after Urine culture and sensitivity test report. It will be more effective and will get your UTI treated fast.


I usually prescribe to my patients Nitrofurantoin for acute UTI. It is best one to cure.


Feel free to contact me anytime for further assistance.
