Hello, Girl! How are you?

No, Sulfamethoxazole can actually increase the levels of the Ibuprofen, which could cause toxicity and/or overdose, so this combination should be avoided, unless your doctor has said that it's safe for you to take them together.

Side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
