I have been using Bactrim (generic brand) for a number of years for the prevention of certain bacterial infections. The antibiotics are effective against most infections and have been used by patients for a number of years. This medication is available in many countries including the USA and Canada. I would not recommend this medication to anyone who has been diagnosed with a bacterial infection and is also taking other antibiotics. I have always taken Bactrim and have used it well. My only side effect is getting rid of the infection after a few days. I am now taking the Bactrim (generic generic brand) daily. I am also taking the antibiotic doxycycline. I have been taking the medication for several years and have had no problems at all. I am not aware of any other side effects. I am not sure of the dosage but I feel like I am taking the medication and not just taking it. I am not sure if it is working, if I am not taking it. My insurance is paying for the medication but I am not aware of the cost of doing it. I am wondering if anyone has had any problems with taking the medication. Any help would be great!
