Hello all, :) please tell me if Ciprofloxacin HCL 500 mg is a good antibiotics to take the days following a BBL?, dosage is one pill a day for 5 days, thank you!!
Answer: Antibiotics after BBL Yama,Thanks for the question.It is best to ask your surgeon. That being said, many physicians have stopped giving antibiotics postoperatively as studies have shown they are not necessary. Antibiotics given just before the start of a procedure are much more effective.Lastly, Cipro is a strong antibiotic, but not the best for a liposcution and/or BBL. It covers a different type of bacteria not usually seen with BBL procedures. Pennicillin or a Cephalosporin (Keflex, etc) are better.Good luck.Dr. T

Answer: Antibiotics and surgery Each surgeon may have a slightly different "take" on antibiotic prescribing and surgery. Best to discuss directly with your surgeon.
