A member asked:
I am taking an antibiotic called bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) ds for a infection in my blood. i am supposed to take it twice daily, could i just take it every 12 hours?

Sure: That would be ok... Normally when it is written for twice daily it implies every 12 hours. Feel better!
