Is Bactrium Effective At Treating Prostatitis?
Question: I have a urinary problem it’s been called prostititis. Levaquin helps! Seems have sex with my wife brings it on! There was one point in last 10 years she took Bactrium and we had no problem for over 2 years! Should we both have Bactrium for a few weeks?
Brief Answer:
it is an effective antibiotic
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, you can both try a course of Bactrim to see if it helps. Bactrim is effective against a number of different bacteria.
Some persons may have bacteria present and do not have any symptoms of infection or any indication that the bacteria may be present.
Using a course for 7 to 10 days may be enough but your doctor may prescribe for up to 2 weeks if this is thought to be necessary.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
