Dear patient,
Thanks for your health concerns. There is a major interaction between Bactrim and warfarin that makes the blood thinner effect more intense; if there are no sulfa allergies, she could take this medication but her doctors would have to adjust the blood thinner and monitor.
Hope this is helpful, wish you the best health,
