A member asked:
I need to know what's an effective bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) alternative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: ...On what is being treated? In general, clindamycin, vancomycin, or Linezolid are substitutes for skin/soft tissue infections, with more options if used for urinary or respiratory issue and not concerned about possible mrsa.
