Uses of Bactrim Syrup
Treatment of Bacterial infections
Benefits of Bactrim Syrup
- In Bacterial infection
- Bactrim treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
- In Gut infection
- Bactrim clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
- In Skin infection
- Bactrim treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
- In Dental infection
- Bactrim treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.
How Bactrim Syrup works
Bactrim Syrup is a combination of two antibiotics: Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim. These antibiotics work by preventing the bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. Together, they treat your infection effectively.
How to take Bactrim Syrup
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Bactrim Syrup should be taken with or after food.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Bactrim Syrup, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Bactrim Syrup
Most side effects of Bactrim are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Nausea
- Metallic taste
- Loose motions

Warnings and precautions
Finish the whole course even after you feel better.

Report severe or watery loose motions during or after the course rather than treating them yourself. Tetracyclines stain developing teeth and are avoided in young children and in pregnancy. Antibiotics do not work against colds, flu or most sore throats, which are caused by viruses.
Do not take Bactrim if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack.
Interactions with other medicines
Antacids, iron, zinc and calcium reduce the absorption of tetracyclines — separate them by a couple of hours. Tell your doctor if you take a blood thinner.
