sulfame/Trimethoprim IP|272

My boyfriend have a bad tooth ack pain and he want some of my sulfame/trimethoprim will that help it until he go to the dentist on the 15 ## Hello, Tana! How is your boyfriend doing? This is an antibiotic, so it is only effective at treating bacterial infections, it will not relieve the pain he's experiencing.

Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
