Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* As per my clinical experience, the Ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin are of similar drug group as Quinolone.

* When there is sensitivity to one molecule , there are very high chances to have sensitivity to other molecule of the same group.

* I do not recommend to take Norfloaxacin along with Gentamicin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
