Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) vs sun: Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is a brand of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (http://www.drugs.com/bactrim.html) which can make it easier to get a sunburn. Recommendation is to "Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors." In future, tell prescribing doc about your circumstances prior to accepting any prescription.
