Hello, thank you for your question! Indeed, there is no indication to combine these 2 antibiotics because their spectrum of activity is very similar. However, for a recommendation tailored to your case and your needs, I would refer you to your pharmacist who served you with them. Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist
