A member asked:
How long does it take to start seeing improvement in acne while using bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) antibiotic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weeks : Nothing works overnight for acne, except perhaps steroid injections into individual lesions. You might get lucky and see improvement in just a week, but you should be prepared to give it 6 weeks.
