A member asked:

After taking bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) suspension to clear a uti, will i be more susceptible to them in the future? i am a 19yo male.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: As long as the current infection is totally cleared, you will not be more susceptible. A repeat urine test will detect no infection.
