Answer 2

Bactrim, otherwise known as Co-trimoxazole, is a sulfa drug used for various bacteria-causing infections in areas such as urinary tract, lungs (pneumonia), ears, and intestines.

Although Co-trimoxazole can be used for lung problems, such as Bronchitis, there are some studies out there stating that individuals have had decreased lung function from use. With that said, it is an effective, inexpensive antibiotic in treating Bronchitis but it is recommended to see your doctor if you have had respiratory issues, transplants, or aren't sure.
