13 Reviews. Bactrim is the brand name of the generic antibiotic sulfamethoxazole trimethoprim (sometimes called co-trimoxazole). The drug is a combination of two antibiotics: It's one part trimethoprim (a synthetic drug), and five parts sulfamethoxazole (a sulfonamide drug).actrim DS tablets are white and oval, containing 160 mg of trimethoprim and 800 mg of sulfamethoxazole. Take the medication as directed by your doctor until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. Failure to do so may help create bacteria that are resistant to treatment.
