"My doctor has me taking Bactrim DS daily for diverticulitis as what’s called a prophylactic, or a prevention of inflammation. It helps me very much as I have not had an inflammation in several years. You must take it every day. And of course, you must know whether or not you are allergic to any sulfa medications."

"I have frequent episodes of diverticulitis. My doctor prescribed a 10-day supply of Bactrim DS. Many times, 10 days is not enough to completely clear up the problem, so I end up needing an additional 10 days' worth of medicine. I have not had any bad side effects from this drug. I wish someone would create a drug to prevent diverticulitis."
