For Patients. Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) DS is a combination of two antibiotics used to treat urinary tract infections, acute otitis media, bronchitis, Shigellosis, Pneumocystis pneumonia, traveler's diarrhea, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and other bacterial infections susceptible to this antibiotic.
Your healthcare provider may also recommend using Bactrim for something other than the conditions listed above. For example, the medicine is sometimes used to treat many other types of infections, particularly if they are caused by bacteria that are susceptible to Bactrim. Also, preventing (instead of treating) any type of infection is considered to be an off-label use of Bactrim.
