Best Answer

Codeine is primarily used for mild to moderate pain relief. Codeine is also combined in some prescription cough medicines because it does help with coughing. I've never heard of using codeine just for a spider bite - unless you had complained of pain in the area, and that would be the reason it was prescribed to you.

Can bactrim be used to treat a spider bite?

i had 2 spider bites (brown recluse) and was bitten a few years before that by the same kind of spider. I got prescribed Bactrim and it was not only effective, it went away with no lancing or cutting on the wound. The first time i was bit, they lanced it and made it worse, that ended with emergency surgery on my forearm so i wouldnt lose my hand due to the swelling cutting off circulation in my hand. So take BACTRIM as a better and less painful treatment.
