can using Sulfamethoxazole Tmp Ds Tablet cause a black tongue? I can't find this as side effect for this medication online ## Yes, it could happen when you are taking this, or any other antibiotic.

My mouth palate and tongue feel raw while I am on this medicine, should I stop? ## Trimethoprim + Sulfamethoxazole can cause mouth sores as a severe side effect, but I haven't read anything related to what you're describing.

Before taking my pills I usually pin them with the underside of my tongue, but where the pill touched is now painful and swollen.

Should this be taken with food or just water? ## This is a generic for Bactrim and, according to the monograph, there isn't a preference. However, it is well known that this antibiotic can be very rough on your stomach, so if it were me, I'd take it with a meal, or small snack to avoid the nausea and pain it can cause. Learn more Bactrim details here. I'm allergic to it and can't take it anymore, but the one time I did, it was quite harsh on my stomach and caused a lot of pain and irritation. And just as a warning, keep an eye out and contact your doctor immediately, if you develop a skin rash from it. Are there any other questions?

my pill is white oblong I was just wondering what the difference is regarding the info i have noted in the subject area, versus the 58 59 and letter v you indicate on your info. ## Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is the generic for the antibiotic Bactrim and, as a generic, it is manufactured by several different companies. So the only difference in the 2 you've mentioned is that they have been manufactured by different companies. By law, even though the medication and dosage may be the same, each company has to use different imprints, so if there would be an emergency, such as accidentally tainted product, the manufacturer can be identified, so the matter can be properly handled. Is there anything else I can help with? Learn more Bactrim details here.

My Dr gave me Sulfamethoxazole DS by accident when I am 6 weeks pregnant. What has it done to my Baby girl?
