i get a pocket script for something like this, usually cirpo and another, but i am surprised a Dr. would say take it even if you have no issues. this is the first i heard of it. even my Dr. with my pocket script of cipro said don't just take it willy nilly at the first sign of the trots.
i wonder how often people are told to take antibiotics prophylactically....i know why there are the concerns people have with with superbugs...
