I have a uti. i was prescribed bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for 3 days, twice a day. it is 5pm here, can i start my first dose now or do i need to wait until tomorrow?

Yes: If you wait for next day you will needlessly suffer for longer period of time. You can start tonight and continue tomorrow morning.
