A member asked:

How long should i wait to drink after taking bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim)?

Alcohol?: If you are wanting to drink alcohol you really should finish your medication first. I generally discourage alcohol consumption when i prescribe any medication. All other fluids should be fine.
