Can ip 272 (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) be used to treat vaginal bacterial infections?

Sulfa -Trimethoprim: Depending on the sensitivity of the organism isolated, sulfamethoxazole - trimethoprim can be a very effective treatment for your condition. If the cultured organism is sensitive, i applaud your doctor for using this time tested antimicrobial rather than prescribing a newer broad spectrum antimicrobial where overuse results in resistant organisms in the future.

Not really: This antibiotic is used most commonly in women for bladder infections. It does not cover the common organisms that cause bacterial vaginitis.
