Can I take Lagatrim (Cotrimoxazole) in place of Purbac (Sulphamethoxazole,Trimethoprim) together with ARVs? ## Both Lagatrim/Cotrimoxazole, and Purbac contain the same active ingredients, Sulfamethoxazole, and Trimethoprim, so they are interchangeable, as long as the dosage, and dosage frequency is the same. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, non-allergic skin rash, and headache. Ref: Cotrimoxazole Information As to the ARV's, it depends on which specific ones you're taking. Can you please post back with more information?

my pupps head is swolin on her head can i give her the medication ## Purbac contains the active ingredient Cotrimoxazole (Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim), which is effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms. From what I could gather, it can be used for dogs; as some dogs are prescribed it from vets. I don't know however, what the recommended dosage would be for a dog. You may want to call up a vet office to determine what a proper dosage would be based on the size of your dog or what type of dog it is.

white oval pill 5898 ## I was prescribed this pill for a staph infection. It is supposed to be stronger than normal antibiotics for staph and also work on those staph infections that are the drug resistance ones. The pill is actually called cotrimoxazole ds--po tab. I'm assuming the PO meanby mouth then tablet. Thru searches I have found this to also be called Cotrim Oral and Bactrim as well. It states that there are alot of medications you can't be on to take this medication. I didn't take all of it, so I didn't real ly suffer any side effects. I did however see that it states it can make you dizzy and you should avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to direct and/or artificial sunlight and that you should take this medication with plenty of water. ## This pill is a com...

Is it ok to take both bioflu and co-amoxiclav to treat my colds and cough? Thank you. ## The Co-Amoxiclav will not do anything to treat a cold, or cough. This medication can only treat a bacterial infection, the NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. However, colds and flu are caused by viral infections, so an antibiotic will not help. Did you doctor tell you take them? ## Oh ok. Thanks Verwon. What would be the most effective type of meds I should take for a cough, cold, or flu that are taking a longer time to be cured? And prevent it from coming back as well? ## Is it safe to take bioflu for the fever and co amoxiclav? ## Can I take bioflu and cotrimoxazole or bioflu and co amoxiclav?

i am 2 months pregnant and had taken 6 tabs of cotrimoxazole in one time, does it affect the fetus? How severe would be the damage to the fetus? For this drug i had taken, Do i need to continue Or terminate my pregnancy? ## Hi Lony - Co-Trimoxazole (containing Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim as the active ingredients) is reported to be in Pregnancy Category C in the US and Australia. This is defined as "Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks." [1] With that said, I cannot really give you conclusive information as to how your fetus would be affected. My thought at this point is you should be fi...
