good morning - i recently had a superficial revision of my tran flap incision line. teh procedure took 30 minutes ,as out patient. The incision ine is approx 7 inches long and closed w sutures. I have had a previous MRSA infection at that site. The question is : i was prescribed bactrim ds (generic substitute) ordered as 2 tabs po bid. the dose equates to 3200 mg : day - isthis an accurate order? thanks ( YYYY@YYYY )
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.
