I need a revision rhinoplasty and was told that they would need to harvest cartilage from my rib area. My problem is that cannot take any antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone family (examples: Cipro, Levoflaxin, Ofloxacin, Mosifloxacin, etc.) nor can I take Cefdinir because I have ulcerative colitis. I might be able to apply a fluoroquinolone antibiotic topically, though. What other antibiotics are usually prescribed if rib cartilage is harvested?
