The time it takes for Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) to clear an infection varies depending on the type and severity of the infection, as well as individual factors. Most infections usually start to improve within a few days of starting Bactrim, but it's important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better sooner. This ensures that all the bacteria are eradicated and reduces the risk of the infection recurring or developing antibiotic resistance. In some cases, it may take a week or longer to see significant improvement, and for more severe or complicated infections, additional treatments or a longer course of antibiotics may be needed.
