A member asked:
Can i use septra (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for any infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Antibiotics are successful only if the bacteria are susceptible. Many bacteria are drug resistant, and therefore, a drug like septra (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) should be used for those infections where successful outcomes can be expected.
