    You should call the prescribing MD, even on the weekends the all have answering services. Bactrim comes in different strengths, according to this and the severity of your condition,will be the times a day you should take it for. You can also call your pharmacist, they usually keep the doctors orders on record. Bactrim is usualy a twice a day med.

    Do what the bottle says. If you have doubts, contact the doctor that prescribed the medication.

    Do whatever the bottle says!! If you doubt it that much, call and talk to the Doctor to be sure...that is the safest bet!
