The organism in the BCG is affected by some antibiotics, but not all in what I have researched. Perhaps the medical providers know which drug is safe to use during this treatment? Also perhaps the risk of reducing treatment efficacy is less than the risk of delaying more instillation treatments? Just food for thought as I don't have the answers to these questions. Perhaps @caflynnr1 can have this discussion with her provider.
