John was on bactrim after his treatment until he developed a rash from it. As our doc told us....most, if not all, antibiotics can suppress the bone marrow and can cause AA. Even so, I would ask that they find a safer alternative if possible. We always go for the least offensive antibiotic that will do the job.

MRSA can be pretty stubborn so you may want to research it to find out which antibiotics are effective. I know there are many which it is resistant to and bactrim may be the best choice in the long run.
