Have MRSA. Prescribed Bactrim But Got Sulphamethoxazole From Pharmacy. Is This Correct?
I went to Dr yesterday for another bout of MRSA. I was given a prescription for Bactrim but the pharmacy gave me Sulfamethoxazole-TMP. The tablets are white, oval-shaped with a deep indent to half the tablet and H 49 on the other side/ I have taken Bactrim before, but don't remember them looking like this. Do these sound right in appearance?

DEAR SIR/MADAM
BACTRIM CONTAINS SULPHAMETHOXAZOLE AND TRIMETHOPRIM IN REGULAR COMBINATIONS, EACH COMPANY MANUFACTURER MAKES HIS TABLET UNIQUE SIGNIFICANT BY INDENTING SOME COMPANY MARKS
BUT THE DESCRIPTIONS WHAT YOU TOLD IS NOT LIKE BACTRIM, BECAUSE IN BACTRIM, THE TABLET WILL HAVE INDENTATION LIKE BACTRIM OR BACTRIM DS.
I THINK IT IS COME OTHER DRUG WITH THE SAME COMBINATION MIGHT BE.
THANK YOU
