shape oval color white imprint ip 272 ## I recently took this one of these pills yesterday morning. By noon I started to have a headache and by the afternoon I had a migraine type of headache along with blood shot red eyes and light pink color to my skin. The next morning the symptoms are still here along with some aching pains in my muscles. My eyes are still red and they are slightly puffy. This afternoon my headache is not as bad but my muscles still ache and my eyes are still irritated. Is there anything I can do to help this through my system? I only took one pill yesterday morning. ## Not really, nothing to do but wait it out, if you only took one, then it won't take long to be metabolized.

I would like to take Excedrin for a headache to today. Can I take w the above drug. If not, what could I take? ## Hello, Jonsey! How are you? Actually, the FDA cautions against combining the Aspirin in the Excedrin with this antibiotic, because they can increase the efficacy of each other, which may be dangerous, in some cases, due to the fact that they could reach toxic overdose levels. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, insomnia, and stomach irritation. What has your doctor advised?

Hey I have a boil on the left side of my buttocks and its almost ready to burst can I take this pill now while its almost there?. The pill is pretty big and white I'm 23 it kind of scared me. Should I take half of it first or just the whole thing? How long do I take these pills? ## You should only take it, if your doctor has directed you to do so, if not, then it may not be the right medication to treat whatever has caused this issue, or you may not have enough of it to fully eradicate the infectious bacteria, which creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Has the boil been cultured?

I AM TAKING AMOXICILLIN FOR UTI. 875 MG TABLETS.ONE EVERY 12 HOURS. I NEED TO CHANGE TO SULAMETHOXAZOLE-TMP. CAN I SUB SULFAMETHOXAZOLE WHEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TIME TO TAKE AMOX? ## Hi Roy, The answer to your question is yes, as long as you're still sticking to your dosing regimen. A friend of mine had to take both of these medications at once for a staph infection, so I know they don't necessarily interact with one another in that regard. I hope this helps!

Okay so I got a staff assess drained about a week ago and started on sulfamethoxazole dm or ds tablet and I developed a fever about 2 days ago and I've been itchy all over for 2 days now I have also been experiencing the feeling of things crawling on me and extreme anxiety attacks and weird cold and hot flashes. Are these side effects or am I allergic to the medication? Should I go see my doctor even though I saw him about 2 or 3 days ago before the itching started. I'm off the meds now just to let you know I just need to know what to do. ## Hello, Hazel! How are you? Yes, it seems that you're allergic. Did you finish your course of treatment?

My husband has been taking sulfamethoxazole-tmp ds for about 7days now. Before going to bed earlier he had a feer than woke me in the middle of the night with this red blotchy rash all over his body.

A non-allergic skin rash can be a normal side effect of most antibiotics. However, if it is severe and bothersome, he should contact his doctor, as he may need to switch to a different antibiotic. Are there any other questions or comments?

I was prescribed sulfamethoxazole tmp for a sore on my shin. I miss read the does and for the first 3 days only took half the prescribe doses. I am now taking 4 pills a day instead of the 2.

It would be best to double check with your prescriber, you may need to take it for a longer period of time or up it for several more days. The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Does this thin blood like aspirin, Ibuprofen? Is it safe to take this prior to surgery to knock a sinus infection? ## Sulfamethoxazole Tmp Ds itself is not a blood thinner, although it does have a warning label stating it's interaction with other blood thinners. As far as pre-operative doses go, this is probably something that should be discussed with the surgeon, since every surgeon has their own unique pre and post operative instructions. Odds are it is probably fine, as it is an antibiotic and doesn't thin blood; but just to be sure I would double check with his personal instructions. You can view a detailed description of the drug by clicking on the link below... I hope this helps!

I was put on this antibiotic because an infection was found in my blood work . What kind of infections can be found in blood work to have this prescribed to me plz help me I am worried. ## It's really more of a broad antibiotic that can be effective at treating various types of infections, so they may not even be certain of the specific infection and just prescribed this to try to eradicate it, regardless of the type and origin. In most cases, what happens is that while testing your blood in the lab, they discover that your white cell count is elevated and, if the elevation isn't severe enough to be a cause for alarm, the most common cause is an infection somewhere in your body. The white cells are actually your disease fighters. That's why I said that your doctor may not ev...
