Co-Trimoxazole 80 mg/400 mg Tablets (called ‘Co-Trimoxazole’

different medicines called sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim.  Both
belong to a group of medicines 
called antibiotics. They are used to treat infections caused by
bacteria. Like all antibiotics, Co-

that it is only suitable for treating 
some types of infections.

• 
lung infections (pneumonia or PCP) caused by a bacteria
called _Pneumocystis jiroveci _(previously 
known as _Pneumocystis carinii _) 
• 
infections caused by a bacteria called Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis). 
Co-Trimoxazole can be used to treat: 
• 
bladder or urinary tract infections (water infections)

lung infections such as bronchitis
