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.

Can azithromycin prescribed for bronchitis also cure a UTI at the same time?

Most cases of bronchitis are caused by a viral infection. Since antibiotics, such as amoxil, do not affect viral infections, they do not help treat them. Risk factors for bacterial bronchitis include a history of emphysema or chronic bronchitis, an immunocompromised condition (AIDS, on chronic steroids or chemotherapy), or a prior viral illness (such as bronchitis) that gets better and then gets worse acutely.
