Multiple Anti Biotics

Six months ago I had the staph infection MERSA. Three lesions were surgically treated and I was on bactrim for three weeks.The results were successful. One week ago I indicated to my internist,who was completely aware of the prior condition and treatment, that I had a supect growth on my rear. Upon examination he doubted that the infection was a repeat , did not suggest surgery but did prescribe ciprofloxacin 500 mg for a period of 10 days. In another city four days latter


I beleived that that the growth had increased. Went to a large city hospital's emergency room were the senior specialist recommended lancing.That was done and I left with a perscription for sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/600 to be taken over ten days. All seems to be going well, however, I have asthma. Nomally it is controlled by Accolate but when neither that nor an albuterol spray together with Azmacort are able to reduce the symptoms my ultimate backup is prednisone Z Pack. Question: Can this be taken together with the two earlier mentioned anti-biotics?

The Prednisone really shouldn't be taken while you're on the Ciprofloxacin, there is the risk of a severe side effect of tendon rupture occurring.

Learn more Prednisone details here.

Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here.

Learn more Bactrim details here.

But there is no such thing as a Prednisone Z Pack, a Z Pack is an antibiotic treatment that uses Azithromycin.

Learn more Azithromycin details here.

Are you referring to one of the Prednisone taper packs?
