Buy Bactrim DS 960 mg (Trimethoprim + Sulfamethoxazole) – Trusted Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic
Bactrim DS 960 mg contains 800 mg sulfamethoxazole and 160 mg trimethoprim. This combination antibiotic treats a broad range of bacterial infections including urinary tract infections (UTIs), acute bronchitis, traveler’s diarrhea, ear infections, skin/soft tissue infections, shigellosis, and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised patients.

How Does It Work?
Sulfamethoxazole inhibits bacterial folate synthesis by blocking dihydropteroate synthetase; trimethoprim blocks dihydrofolate reductase. Together, they provide synergistic bacteriostatic action against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
