Perrywalton Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Bactrim Dosage is a combination antibiotic medication that can treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is commonly used to treat: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adults and children over 2 months old Middle ear infections (acute otitis media) in children over 2 months old Acute worsening of chronic bronchitis in adults Shigellosis, a type of dysentery infection, in adults and children over 2 months old Pneumocystis pneumonia in adults and children over 2 months old Traveler's diarrhea in adults Bactrim DS works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause these infections. It contains two antibiotics - sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. It is important to take Bactrim DS exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if you start feeling better before finishing the full course of treatment. Stopping early can lead to the infection returning and becoming harder to treat. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and skin rash, but these are usually mild. Always consult your healthcare provider before taking Bactrim DS, as it may interact with certain medical conditions or other medications you are taking. Bactrim DS is not approved for children under 2 months old due to the risk of serious side effects in this age group.
