A member asked:
How fast should bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) work for staph?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: It depends on the area infected and the severity of infection. Finally, sometimes Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is often not very effective against staph at all.
