Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) and monostat: Yes. However, Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is antibacterial, and not effective to treat yeast infections. Monostat or Diflucan are the drug of choice.

I think my chronic cervicitis came back. Dr thought it was a UTI and gave me Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim). Not helping. Could it be yeast? Will Monistat help until seen?
