Bactrim DS (800/160 mg) or Septran DS is a powerful antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory infections, ear infections, and gastrointestinal infections. It contains two active ingredients: Sulfamethoxazole (800 mg) and Trimethoprim (160 mg), which work synergistically to inhibit bacterial growth. This medication is effective in treating infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria and is often prescribed for both acute and chronic conditions.

Kidney or Liver Issues: Use with caution if you have kidney or liver disease.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to prevent the formation of kidney stones.
Other Medications: Notify your doctor of any other medicines or supplements you are taking to avoid interactions.

While Bactrim DS is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience the following side effects:

Common Side Effects: Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and mild diarrhea.
Rare but Serious Side Effects: Allergic reactions, severe skin rash, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), unusual bruising or bleeding, or signs of kidney issues like decreased urination.

Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Typically, it is taken by mouth with a full glass of water, either with or without food.
Dosage depends on the type and severity of the infection being treated.
To ensure the infection is completely treated, finish the full course of medication, even if symptoms improve.
Avoid skipping doses, as this can lead to antibiotic resistance.
