Q: what kind of antibiotics are used for a urinary tract infection?
Several different categories of antibiotics are used by the treatment of antibiotics. Most common drugs that are used include cephalosporins (Keflex), fluroquinolones (Cipro, Levaquin) and sulfur containing antibiotics (Bactrim, TMP/SMX). It is important to use the antibiotic that the bacteria is sensitive today rather than just guessing which one to use.
