Different antibiotic: The spectrum of activity for Amoxicillin and Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) overlap to some degree, but do have important differences. It is always best to check with your doctor for treatment that requires antibiotics. I take this very seriously. This is because, depending on the disease condition, you may need a certain activity of the medication that caused the doctor to select that agent and not another one.
