Substitute For Bactrim
UpdatedMy friend has Aids and have been taking Bactrim for a long period of time. I read some side effects of Bactrim and he has all of them. aching joints, swelling, nausea, rashes sometimes. In a lot of pain. I was wondering what he could take in place of Bactrim to see if his condition improves.

Hi Darryl, sorry to hear about your friend. That's kind of tough because I am assuming that he's been taking the Bactrim in order to prevent pneumonia? Sounds like he needs to be on a preventative treatment but this particular antibiotic can be pretty tough on the body. While there are other antibiotics out there which are generally tolerated better, they may not be a good fit based on his condition and needs. Has his doctor been notified about these side effects? Perhaps they could work out a more suitable treatment together. Nevertheless - I hope he feels better and is able to get on a different medication! Can you please post back and let me know how it goes?
