I was taking cipro for prostatities and I had a bad reaction now I'm taking apo sulfatrim ds 800 160 mg dosage twice a day . Will this be safer than cipro ## Hello, Fab82! How are you? The only way to know is by actually trying it and seeing how it affects you. It may work better for you than the Cipro did, but you could also suffer some adverse side effects from this one, as well. There's just no way to know ahead of time. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. What type of reaction did you have to the Cipro?

I was prescribed sulfatrim DS for a minor bladder infection. Today is my second day taking it (fourth dose). I am now experiencing weakness, anxiety, minor headache, some itching of the skin, achy muscles and joints, pounding in chest, and just a general sense of illness. I'm wondering if these are severe side effects and if I should go to the ER right away or if it is ok and after I finish the antibiotics tomorrow these symptoms will go away? ## Hello, Emma! How are you feeling? Sorry about the problems that you're experiencing. The itchiness is the red flag here, it could be due to an allergic reaction, which does occur in a fairly large percentage of people that take a sulfa drug. Have you consulted your doctor?

my tongue became scarlet in color taking it. ## Do you think it may be a rash of some sort? I've read that this medication can cause an allergic reaction in the form of a skin rash.

I'm supposed to take one tablet twice daily until finishing treatment. I was given 23 pills for a urine infection and 15 minutes after taking it I got a rash all over. What should I do? I'm diabetic. ## Have you consulted your doctor? Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic and a non-allergic skin rash can be a normal side effect, but you should talk to your doctor to determine what type of rash it is. Since it appeared in such a short time frame, it may be an allergy to the medication and you might need to try something else.
