Good day and thanks for your question. Your doctor might have prescribed 2 tabs because you had MRSA and either from experience or through a wound swab microscopic, culture and sensitivity high dose bactrim would be the best. I suggest you take it as prescribed by your doctor. Hope it helps. Thank you.
