Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Cotrimoxazole is a broad spectrum antibiotics having Trimethoprim 160 mg and sulfamethoxazole 800 mg. This is one of the excellent antibiotics covering multiple organisms. Orally Clotrimazole should be taken every 12 h for 5 days in case of enteritis and loose stool. This is very effective in controlling the symptoms of loose stool. This medicine is taken after taking Tab rant ac to prevent the gastritis which can be induced by clotrimazole. If your sister is hypersensitivity to trimethoprim or sulfonamides she should inform your doctor and avoid this Chat Doctor. Thank you.
