Sulfamethoxazole And Doxycycline Together
my doctor put me on a combination of sulfamethoxazole and doxycycline after they lanced an infected oil gland on my back. the sulfa was first 4 days and I was ok. then they lanced it again and added doxy. I got a really bad sore throat and cold that they said was coincidence! and I would get really nauseous for a few hours after taking the meds. That nausea seemed to get worse each time. I could not go to work today so called dr. to see if I could take the pills once a day at night? get sick at night and still work? or what suggestions and a nurse called me back and said, "just stop taking them," this, after they gave me the warning in the office, 'make sure you finishe the whole course.' I'm confused. I don't want to do more harm later if I stop these now. Calle... ...

Sulfamethoxazole TMP
My 87 father was prescribed Sulfamethoxazole after being diagnosed with urinary/prostate infection.

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.
