Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim, the active ingredients in Bactrim, is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections.

However, if you just have leftovers from a prior prescription, then you likely won't have enough to finish a full course of treatment and will need to see your doctor for a new prescription, otherwise you run the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, if you develop hives you should seek immediate medical attention as a serious allergic reaction may be starting.

Is there anything else I can help with?
