I took this medication and it cause a reaction of hives to my skin. And now its very irratating all over my body, what should I take now. Benadryl or cortizone is not helping. ## Have you talked to your doctor? A non-allergic skin rash can be a common side effect of antibiotics and that probably explains why it isn't responding to the other medications. You may just need to try a different antibiotic and give this one time to get out of your system.

I have a prescription dated 01/07/13 for Sullfameth/trime thoprim 800/160 tabs, is it ok for me to take them now? ## Hello, Sylvia! How are you? This is a generic for the antibiotic Bactrim and the expiration date would have been one year from when it was dispensed to you by your pharmacy. Medications degrade over time, due to exposure to the elements, such as heat, light and moisture, thus, they will no longer be as effective as they were, when new and this creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. So, if you have an infection and require an antibiotic, it would best to see your doctor for a new prescription. Side effects to this medication nay include nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and non-allergic skin rash. Is there anything else I can help with?
