So do they give out Cipro for any infection now? My cousin in LA has broncitis and they gave him cipro

or is it because they have a well established superbug there immune to everything else?

- I thought it was the big gun for massive infections that didn't respond to regular ones, and bad stuff like Anthrax -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 7, 22:54 1
  - my understanding is that it's usually not the first thing prescribed, because of potential side effects, but it's not rare. -- nm - mafic Apr 7, 22:57
i think they've given it to me in the past when my crohn's has flared up - moles Apr 7, 22:39
