I have 3 tablets of Sulfa/Meth TMP DS. I think these were prescribed to me for a bladder infection. I have symptoms of it again. Is this medication for bladder infections?

This is a generic version of the antibiotic Bactrim, which is used to treat various types of infections.

However, the problem is that 3 tablets is not enough to finish a full course of treatment and fully eradicate an infection. Trying to use them creates the risk of someone developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

You can learn more Bactrim details here.

Thus, if anyone reading this thinks they may have an infection, the best and safest thing to do is to see your doctor, so if they confirm the presence of an infection, you can get a new antibiotic prescription to finish a full course of treatment.

Are there any questions or comments?

Is there anything I can help with?
