A picture can be viewed at the website below: http://search.drugs.com/imprints.php Drug Name Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim Strength(s) 800 MG-160 MG Imprint MP 85 Manufacturer/Distributor Akyma Pharm Co-trimoxazole (abbreviated SXT, TMP-SMX, or TMP-sulfa) is an antibiotic combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, in the ratio of 1 to 5, used in the treatment of a variety of bacterial infections. The name co-trimoxazole is the British Approved Name, and has been marketed worldwide under many trade names including Septrin (GSK), Bactrim (Roche), and various generic preparations. According to the American Hospital Formulary Service, "co-trimoxazole usually is bactericidal." Other sources list this antibiotic as bacteriostatic.
