Brief Answer:
These are the drugs & doses.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
1. Kindly take Antrima tablets. This contains these two drugs in combination.
2. These are as described, Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim (160 mg- 800 mg) respectively.
3. These are DS double strength tablets. Please take them in BID, 12 hours apart.
4. This regimen (course of medicines) is to be taken, for 10 days.
5. I have mentioned Antrima, because it is widely available in all pharmacies.
6. Betnovate-GM, is the brand name of the local cream, most commonly available.
This will answer your query as regards specifics of medicines.
Still, I would advise you to take Antrima under medical supervision OR take Antrima for 10 days without fail, sticking to the doses, lest germs develop resistance to the drugs.
