List of ic safe antibiotics?

Hi,
I know somewhere on this site is a list of ic safe antibiotics, for non-ic related things like strep throat, etc.. Does anyone know where this is. I can't find it. Or can someone please reply with a list for me.

Thanks!
Hope

i don't know where the list is, but if you have the book "you don't have to live with cystitis," there's a list in the back of drugs and antibiotics that are okay to take if you have IC. hope someone finds the list for you. i do know that macrobid will cause flares, but i've taken cipro, levaquin, doxycycline and augmentin with no bladder side effects.
