A member asked:
What other antibiotics are there instead of bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for renal infections? experiencing kidney pain but on bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Renal infections: Hi Annie. There are many antibiotics that are available to treat genito-urinary infections (kidney infections). The antibiotic is generally selected based on the bacteria that may have been seen on the urine culture, the susceptibilities of the antibiotic to the bacteria and how much of the selected antibiotic is effectively delivered to the kidney and urine.
