Too Big A Dose????apo-sulfatrim.

I have copd and have had declining lung function. We tried lots if anti biotic no change this. Finally my Dr. did a bronchoscopy and saline rinse and low and behold found two bugs that regular sputum tests missed. He put me on APO-Sulfatrim DS 800/160MG 3 times a day 2 tablets. My Pharmacist is going to check the dose. Too much?

REPORT

The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash.

Many doctors will adjust the dosage of an antibiotic according to the type and severity of the infection being treated.

While it is always wise to double check, at this point your doctor likely wants to load you up to make sure these bugs are fully eradicated.

Have you started taking them, yet?

5 hours seems like it's all good so far. But you're right my Dr wants this bug gone. I'll be on oxygen as long as I'm on the meds. Even have a refill Rx.

Last night. Should have them with food but I'm still working on a plan. Hard to spread 3 times a day over my day.
