Bactrim is made up of two antibiotics called sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Bactrim comes in tablet form, usually green or white in color, for oral administration. We carry the generic version of Bactrim, which is sold as Bactrims two main ingredients, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, in 400mg/80mg and 800mg/160mg.

This medication is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. This includes middle ear, urine, respiratory and intestinal infections. It is also commonly used to prevent and treat pneumocystis-type (type of pneumonia).

Bactrim works by getting rid of the bacteria that cause many kinds of infections. Some examples of bacteria that cause infections are streptococcus, staphylococcus, and E. coli.

Is it okay to share this medication with someone who also suffers the same condition as I do?

No. It is never okay to share medications with others because we all react differently to drugs and each patient must be prescribed the appropriate amount for that person individually. What may work for you could seriously harm another person.
