Will 'bactrim' Help In Treating MRSA In Arm?
I was just diax with MRSA in my rt arm and was prescribed bactrim and bactroban. My conccern is that 10 years ago I had necrotizing fasciaitis in my rt arm and it underwent MANY surgeries over a LONG time. I've been told that my rt arm has little immune and NOW I am very worried because of teh MRSA. Is MRSA treated with bactrim - I don't want to go through what I did years ago. I also have stage 3 kidney disease from months of vanco and I am concerned about my kidneys

Hello and thank you for your question.
Bactrim is a good choice. It covers MRSA well in most areas. There is no guarantee with these resistant bacteria but you are on a good medicine to treat the MRSA.
