Im wondering if we can prescribe both Augmentin & Ciprofloxacin at the same time? I see no interactions b/w dis two in the BNF. They act differently dun they?
Hi. To kindly remind you, not all of us here knows exactly everything. So perhaps you can provide some background information on the subject that you're discussing.
Anyway, here's what I've found:

Augmentin is used to treat many different infections caused by bacteria, such as sinusitis, pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin. http://www.drugs.com/augmentin.html

Ciprofloxacin (INN) is a drug used to treat bacterial infections.

From what I've read from these two sites, the drugs you're referring to both used to treat bacterial infections.
Since they both have the same function, why would both of it be prescribed at the same time?
Anyway, I'm not of pharmaceutical nor medicine background. I'm just another student pursuing an engineering degree. So pardon me if I've made factual mistakes
