Trimetho Sulfamethox 160 800 Mg Side Effects

on 5/27/14 i was prescribed Expired Sulfamethoxazole 800mg-trimethorprim 160 mg. The pharmacist wrote an illegible expiration date. How long is this med usually good for? and would it be safe to take almost 1 year later? ## Hello, Joey! How are you? If they are in a pharmacy bottle, the expiration would be one year from when they were dispensed to you. So, the expiration date wouldn't be until 05/26/2015. At that point, they start to degrade and may lose effectiveness. This is an antibiotic and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking Sulf trime tab 800 /160 mg. It's for my swollen foot ...I got bit by something on the cruise ship.The doctor also gave me Ibuprofen 600 mg and oxy for pain. I am throwing up about an hour after taking the medication....I feel so sick from throwing up every 10 minutes. What can I do for this awful problem? Thank you! Daria ## Hello, Daria! How are you? Any of these 3 medications could cause nausea and it's likely worsened by taking all 3 of them. Have you consulted the doctor, again? They may be able to prescribe something to help with the nausea. Oxycodone is classified by the FDA as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

You should just avoid taking it with dairy products or grapefruit, because those can sometimes affect the absorption of some medications.

I took sulfamethoxazole trimethoprim 800/160 mg which expired 2 years ago; but i only took half and I have had a headache all day. Can I now take ibuprofen for the headache? My last dose was 4 and a half hours ago. ## Hello, Renee! How are you feeling? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check to be sure. Since the Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim is an antibiotic, why did you only take half of it? Given that it was also expired, that would likely not be an appropriate dose to treat an infection. The FDA also lists headaches as being one of its possible side effects, along with nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. ## How long does it take to start feeling better after taking smz tmp ds 800-160.
