A member asked:
Does co-trimoxazole keeps effectiveness in pus producing infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Question unclear: Pus is a collection of white blood cells and destroyed tissue due to infection. Co-trimoxazole will not function well if the pus is inside an abscess, but if draining, the drug will kill bacteria in the tissues from which the pus is emanating.
