Can I Switch Fast From Ceftriaxone To Cypro?

Hello my name is Dee. I am a c 6-7 quadriplegic and I have ongoing uti's because I have an indwelling Foley catheter. I have developed Steven Johnsons Syndrome from Septra 2 yrs ago. Now I'm being treated for another uti and I was on Ceftriaxone and developed a severe reaction from it. So I've been prescribed Cypro but I'm scared to take it. I had ceftriaxone yesterday afternoon and doc gave me cypro for today. Should I wait till tomorrow or will it mess up my progression of getting better?

Hello, Dee! How are you?

You should be able to just make a smooth switch from one antibiotic to the other, unless your doctor has directed otherwise.

The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
