Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (often referred to as Bactrim) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not specifically for tick or spider bites. While it may be prescribed if a bite becomes infected, it is not a first-line treatment for the bites themselves. For tick bites, monitoring for signs of Lyme disease or other tick-borne illnesses is essential, while spider bites may require different management depending on the severity. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment.
