Is there any difference between sulfameth/tmp ds tab and Sulfameth Tmp ss Tab? If so what are they What does the extention ds versus ss mean anyway? ## The DS stands for double strength, because it has double the amount of the active ingredients as was in the original formula. However, the only thing I am aware of concerning prescriptions that use SS is a sliding scale, meaning the dosage is half or less than the original, so I am not sure if that's what this means, or not. Learn more Bactrim details here. Is anyone else familiar with the SS and what it stands for?

She went back to consult her doctor of her reaction to the medication. Her doc immediatelly sent her to the hospital. They did a blood test and her plaque count is at 200 when normal is between 2000 and 4000. They said they have to keep her for at least 2 days. I know that internal bleeding is a huge concern. Can u tell me what is going on? I know that one of the rare side effects of this medication is blood disorders. Can you tell me how long this condition will last? How likely is it for her to get back to her strng healthy self? ## Unfortunately, I really have no way to answer those questions. Has her doctor given any prognosis? Ye...

My two month old was proscribed this medicine. I feel she is sleeping way to much even for a two month old. Has anyone else had this problem? ## According to the dosing & administration guidelines, this medication is contraindicated in infants less than 2 months of age. Since your child is borderline on this age requirement, I'd question why the doctor decided to choose this drug over less riskier options?
