Bactrim (сo-trimoxazole) is prescribed for the treatment of infections caused by the presence of bacteria in the body. It is efficient in case you have been diagnosed with any urinary tract infections, as well as infections of the ears, intestines and lungs. Keep taking Bactrim even after your symptoms have improved significantly. Improved symptoms do not necessarily indicate all the bacteria have been killed and a relapse of infection may happen. It’s up to your doctor to decide for how long you are supposed to take Bactrim. Being allergic to diuretics, medicines for diabetes, sulfa drugs or either of the active ingredients Bactrim contains may prevent you from safely taking this medicine.
If you are currently taking such drugs as warfarin, phenytoin, any vitamins or supplements, tell your health care provider in advance. Some minor side effects you may experience when taking Bactrim are most likely to go away and you do not need to worry about them. You must contact your health care provider as soon as possible if you experience the following serious side effects: itching, skin rash, joint pain, fever, yellowing of the skin, paleness and sore throat.
