my tongue became scarlet in color taking it. ## Do you think it may be a rash of some sort? I've read that this medication can cause an allergic reaction in the form of a skin rash. It can also cause your tongue to be painful or swollen. I don't know how common it might be for your tongue to turn red, but I would definitely contact your doctor as soon as possible to assess what it might be and take appropriate action for getting it to go away.

I have copd and have had declining lung function. We tried lots if anti biotic no change this. Finally my Dr. did a bronchoscopy and saline rinse and low and behold found two bugs that regular sputum tests missed. He put me on APO-Sulfatrim DS 800/160MG 3 times a day 2 tablets. My Pharmacist is going to check the dose. Too much? ## The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Many doctors will adjust the dosage of an antibiotic according to the type and severity of the infection being treated. While it is always wise to double check, at this point your doctor likely wants to load you up to make sure these bugs are fully eradicated. Have you started taking them, yet? ## 5 hours seems like it...

Can this medication cause welts and itching between the legs and genital area? I've been on these for 8 days now, 2 pills daily. Several days ago a welts formed on each cheek of my behind and now I'm getting them on the front and inside of my legs. Is this a skin reaction from the meds? I react to various meds in a negative way unfortunately. ## Hello, Phil! How are you? Has there been any change? It would be best to have this checked out immediately by a doctor, there is a chance that you are experiencing an allergic reaction. If that is the case, as reported by the NIH, they tend to get worse with repeated exposure, so you night need to stop taking it and switch to a different antibiotic. I had an allergic reaction to this medication a few years ago and it was horrible.

I take 2mg Ativan daily, 90 mg of Cymbalta daily, 105mg Methadone daily and sometimes use Zantac for heartburn. Are there any drug interactions I should know about? Any knowledge u have about this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. ## Hello, Sunny! How are you? Yes, you actually shouldn't take the Sulfatrim with Methadone, it can cause a prolonged QTc interval of the heart, which may be fatal/ The FDA classifies Methadone as an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm supposed to take one tablet twice daily until finishing treatment. I was given 23 pills for a urine infection and 15 minutes after taking it I got a rash all over. What should I do? I'm diabetic. ## Have you consulted your doctor? Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic and a non-allergic skin rash can be a normal side effect, but you should talk to your doctor to determine what type of rash it is. Since it appeared in such a short time frame, it may be an allergy to the medication and you might need to try something else.
