Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) is not recommended for the treatment of gonorrhea. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines suggest using ceftriaxone or cefixime as first-line treatments. Due to increasing resistance, Bactrim is not effective against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacteria responsible for gonorrhea. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment options.
