What are side effects of bactrium ds 800-160?
Patient: Hi my doctor prescribed 2 bactrim ds 800-160 twice a day for an ingrown toenail infection. It just seems like a high dosage. I weigh 181 pounds and I am 5 foot 7.I am 22 years old and in good health. Can you tell me if that dosage amount sounds reasonable. Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe dose is appropriate.Bactrim is a combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim.The strength that you have been given in the double strength. The difference between the double strength and the normal strength is the number of tablets taken.In double strength only one is taken with each dose, in the other strength 2 are taken to make up the strength.The dose is fine.I hope this helps
