Therefore, I can't answer your question, without more information. Do you know the name of the actual medication? Are there any other details on the prescription label? What were you taking it for? There are some medications, such as antibiotics, which can cause a non-allergic rash as a side effect.

Learn more Bactrim details here. And it may not be the right medication to clear up your urinary tract infection, or you may not have enough if you only have leftovers from a prior infection.

I have interpharm 800-160 antibiotic. Was wondering what that dosage would be for my 6 year old? My 14 year old took I tablet twice daily so was wondering if I could just cut the tablet in half? ## Hello, Denise! How are you? Has your child's doctor prescribed this for them? Antibiotics shouldn't be used, unless a doctor confirms the presence of a bacterial infection, because improper use creates the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. Additionally, when an antibiotic is prescribed you need to be sure that you or your child finishes the entire course of treatment to ensure that the bacteria is completely eradicated. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. ## I was wondering if there is anything in it that would he...

I have a 10 day prescription of SMZ/TMP D'S 800-160 TAB INTERPHARM. I'm having lower abdomen pains, some slight vaginal bleeding. I have sunburn also! Are these normal side effects? ## This is an antibiotic, it's normal side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach ache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. The vaginal bleeding is not normal, unless you are on hormonal contraceptives, because this can negate them, so it would be breakthrough bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with?

PLEASE SEND ME INFO ON THIS DRUG .THANKS ## I was taking this 6 months ago, but it was a round pill that said 80 mgs...i took half a pill a night (so...40 mgs). My doctor renewed my Rx but it is oval and bigger and says 800-160. How many mgs is this? ## the interpharm can you give me some info on it just to know a little about it thank you ## Sulfamethoxazole (800mgs) with Trimethoprim (160mgs) is a generic for Bactrim, it is an antibiotic that is used to treat, or prevent bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Tara, there is no 80mg formulation. Are you sure this is what you were taking? Is it possible that you were just taking Trimethoprim by itself?
