Bactrim: Antibiotics
Bactrim belongs to a group of antibiotics which are indicated for use where antibiotics are inadequate. Generally, a zone of complete inhibition in the body is achieved by one dose in every six to eight hours as recommended by the general practitioner. This zone of potency is sufficient for effective treatment. As medicine is complete, this dose can be taken orally with or without food. The dose should be taken at the same time each day so that the effectiveness remains intact. After three days, the dose should be continued as recommended by the doctor.
