I went in for a drug screen and the test came back non negative. Is it possible that smz/tmp DS 800-160 tab interpharm will show up on the test?

Hi rob,

To answer your first inquiry in the title of your thread, side effects of Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim can include:

Painful or swollen tongue; dizziness, spinning sensation; ringing in your ears; joint pain; or sleep problems (insomnia)

More serious side effects that can occur may include:

Fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash; the first sign of any skin rash, no matter how mild; pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding; cough, feeling short of breath; diarrhea that is watery or bloody; feeling restless or irritable, confusion, hallucinations, seizure; slow heart rate, weak pulse, severe tingling, numbness, muscle pain or weakness; nausea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, itching, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms; or urinating less than usual or not at all.

As far as a drug screening goes, to my knowledge, standard drug tests do not look for antibiotics, since they are not seen as commonly abused drugs. Sure, places can look for it specifically if they have a reason to, but presenting the testing facility with your prescription in hand should be more than enough to get you out of any possible mishaps that they find.

Has anyone else had to take a drug test with antibiotics in their system?

Yes, this antibiotic has been known to cause a false positive for Benzodiazepines. In case you aren't familiar with those, that would be the same drug class as Xanax and Valium.

It can also take several weeks to completely clear out of your system, once you finish taking it, but another test taken a month or so later should be clear.

Are there any other questions or comments?

I need to know where you got your evidence from. I can't seem to find any hard evidence proving that smz/tmp can cause false positives. Any material would be extremely helpful.
