Which is better for ca mersa bactrin or doxycyclie?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim): Probably the Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) but both are effective for the vast majority of MRSA strains. Serious infections are generally treated with intravenous antibiots like vancomycin.
