Drinking Alcohol While Taking Sulfamethoxazole Tmp

Updated

Hi, I finished taking Sulfamethoxazole on Wednesday and three days later, I drank alcohol. I woke up the next morning with a bad itchy skin rash. Was this caused by the alcohol? The rash came and went that day. Now on day 2, it's pretty much gone, with just a little area under my chin on my neck. Will the rash go away on it's own, and how soon? Thank you.

Hello, Gugs! How are you? Has there been any change?

Since you finished it a few days before, I am rather doubtful that the medication played a role, however, I am not a doctor so I can't say for sure. It would be best to have it checked out to be sure.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic (non-itchy) skin rash and diarrhea. And while alcohol can make them more severe, they usually go away shortly after finishing your course of treatment.

Hello, I've been taking sulfamethoxazole/TMP, 2 pills a day for three days. I took my last pill at 3am (Monday). It's been 14 hours. Would it be safe to have a beer or two?
