Bactrim is a commonly prescribed antibiotic which works to stop the growth of bacteria in the body. It is used to treat infections caused by bacteria, including urinary tract methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), skin infections, travelers’ diarrhea, respiratory tract infections, and cholera, among others and ear infections.
Bactrim is a fixed-dose combination two antibiotic medication used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It consists of 1 part trimethoprim to 5 parts sulfamethoxazole. Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim are both antibiotics that treat several types of infection caused by bacteria. Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim block two consecutive steps in the biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins essential to many types of bacteria.
To help reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Bactrim, this medicine should be used only to treat infections that are proven, or strongly suspected, to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
The dosage for Bactrim (Sulfamethoxazole Trimethoprim) is based on exactly as prescribed by your doctor and response to the treatment. Bactrim comes in the form of tablet to be orally taken by mouth, as directed by your doctor and the tablet should be taken with a full glass of water (8oz/ 240ml) two times a day. The typical adult dosage is 2 Bactrim tablets every 12 hours.
