My MRI showed I have a perianal abscess. Now I just took a two week course of Vancomycin for C Diff. Although my GI knows this she prescribed me 3 weeks of Flagyl/Cipro for the abscess and she gave me another 3 weeks of Vancomycin to offset the Cipro from causing a recurrence of C Diff. I asked her if I could take the Flagyl alone without Cipro, because I'm worried about the C diff returning or getting worse, even with the Vancomycin to prevent it. She told me Flagyl alone would not kill the abscess and I needed the Cipro.
Has anyone just taken Flagyl for an abscess? I am thinking of not bothering with the Cipro due to the problem with C diff. I'm also seeing my colorectalsurgeon to have the abscess drained, but that won't be for a little while, so I'm taking the antibiotics in the mean time. Thank you.
