Why would 2 different types of antibiotics be given for after surgery?

We Answered:

They usually prescribe keflex (cephalexin) to prevent a bacterial infection ( of the wound or inside).Septra, also known as bactrim, is for respiratory infections and can be used in addition because it is prescribed to people who have a weakened immune system.
