The DS stands for double strength, because it has double the amount of the active ingredients as was in the original formula.

However, the only thing I am aware of concerning prescriptions that use SS is a sliding scale, meaning the dosage is half or less than the original, so I am not sure if that's what this means, or not.

Learn more Bactrim details here.

Is anyone else familiar with the SS and what it stands for?
