re: OT Parents - how would you handle receiving conflicting medical info from doctors?

Sort of. Fluoroquinolones in general aren't that great for UTIs these days because of how often they're prescribed.

E coli (most common uti bug) is less than 70% susceptible to Cipro where I live.

Also, fqs as a class have a lot of adrs and drug interactions. Put those two together and you're really better off using other agents when feasible.
