Has anyone tried taking cipro and rifixamin together and has it helped? I was taking cipro for a long time, but stopped working and alternated between cipro and flagyl and then took a drug break and then went back to cipro but no improvement. I'm now trying rifixamin for the first time and it's not doing very much, but was wondering if I took it with cipro, it might help? In the past I had success with cipro and ceftin, so now hoping this combo will help.

I am taking keflex and cipro together and it is helping me. My pediatric GI says he does it for a lot of his patients and gets good results.
Combination antibiotics is one of Shen's recommendations for pouchitis that won't otherwise respond. I'm currently on Cipro and Flagyl, which is a more common combination. I haven't tried Xifaxan in combination with Cipro, but it's probably worth a try. Heck, I might try it so I can have an occasional beer!
my son was on cipro and rifaximin and after about a week weaned off cipro and has stayed on rifaximin. He started on high dose of rifaximin and has weaned to lower dose.
