A member asked:

My dr gave me bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for a std, is this okay?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

STD: That would depend upon what he is treating. Without being aware of the particular std cannot answer the question. Hope they have tested you for all other stds as a person who gets one, has the potential to get more than one at the same time.
