A member asked:

Can you take sulfameth/trimethoprim while trying to conceive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: I am always leery about having females take medication while trying to conceive. Early development of the fetus is critical and conception may have taken place without any symptoms. It's best to talk to the physician who prescribed the combination drug & get an opinion.
