Yes, if no allergies: It is safe as long as you are not allergic to meds that contain sulfa.

Yes if not allergic: Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) ds (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim 800mg) is an antibiotic often used to treat urinary tract, sinus, or skin infections. It is very inexpensive and usually safe provided a patient take it as directed, and is not allergic to it's components. The most common allergy to Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is due to the sulfa component. If you are alergic to sulfa containing medications, then you should not take bactri.
