View company portfolio →What Bactrim Forte (Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (co-trimoxazole)) is used for
Co-trimoxazole is a medicine that joins two antibiotics, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, in one tablet or liquid. Sulfamethoxazole belongs to the sulfonamide (sulpha) group. Together they stop certain bacteria from growing, so the body can clear the infection. It is a prescription medicine and works only against some kinds of bacteria, so a doctor decides when it is the right choice.
- Urine and bladder infections (water infections)
- Chest and airway infections, such as bronchitis
- Ear infections, such as middle ear infection (otitis media)
- Treating and preventing a serious lung infection called Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP or PJP)
- Treating and preventing toxoplasmosis
- Nocardiosis, an infection that can affect the lungs, skin and brain
Get medical help straight away if
- Stop taking it and get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction: trouble breathing, a tight or closing throat, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, fainting, or chest pain.
- Stop and get emergency help for a serious skin reaction: red patches on the body, blisters, peeling skin, or sores in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals or eyes. If you have ever had one of these reactions to co-trimoxazole, you must never take it again.
- Get urgent help for a widespread rash with a high temperature and swollen glands.
- Get urgent help if fever, swollen glands, weakness, breathlessness, bruising or rash happen together. This can be a sign of a rare but dangerous immune system reaction.
