I'm inclined to say that you should see what other options are available for her to use first.

This is a generic for Bactrim and as a sulfa based medication, it can cause some severe side effects and the dangerous ones can be even more pronounced and risky in the elderly.

Learn more Bactrim details here.

You posted this a few weeks ago, did she end up taking it? How is she doing?
