A member asked:
Does sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim dosage have to be taken 12 hours apart exactly if taken twice daily? or can it be okay to be off an hour or two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
12 hour interval is recommended but being off an hour or so shouldn't be serious unlike other meds such as insulin, for example.
