Topic: rifampin with accompanying abx

Hi,

I remember reading on here that rifampin works best when accompanied by another abx.

But I can't remember what the best abx were to take with rifampin.

I only remember my LLMD didn't prescribe another abx with it.

What is the abx that works best and helps rifampin be more effective?

Thank you in advance,
Susan

I was taking Rifampin with Ceftin and my neuropathy symptoms have gotten much worse. I asked my LLMD if I could take it with Zithromax and he said ok so I just started that. I am very allergic to doxycycline so I can't take that.
