Two doctors & two different answers?

[trintiybella]

The doctor I am seeing has me on bactrim for lyme. I spoke to my daughters doc today and he said bactrim is not used for lyme.

[ktdommer]

Lyme therapy is never a single antibiotic unless treating very early in the disease. We have never used bactrim.

Such as:

 

"After completing a course of intravenous antibiotics, the patient should then be placed on antibiotics by mouth for as long as it is necessary. They can be given Amoxil, Suprax, a combination of Suprax, ERYC. Some physicians are now even considering the use of Bactrim, combining Bactrim and ERYC. There are a number of medications used, either singly or in combination, that help some patients some of the time. The decision may be made on the basis of the patient's clinical response and how well they tolerate the medication."
