Drinking Alcohol While Taking Sulfamethoxazole Tmp
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Hi, I finished taking Sulfamethoxazole on Wednesday and three days later, I drank alcohol. I woke up the next morning with a bad itchy skin rash. Was this caused by the alcohol? The rash came and went that day. Now on day 2, it's pretty much gone, with just a little area under my chin on my neck. Will the rash go away on it's own, and how soon? Thank you.

Hello, I've been taking sulfamethoxazole/TMP, 2 pills a day for three days. I took my last pill at 3am (Monday). It's been 14 hours. Would it be safe to have a beer or two?

Hello, Gugs! How are you? Has there been any change?

Since you finished it a few days before, I am rather doubtful that the medication played a role, however, I am not a doctor so I can't say for sure. It would be best to have it checked out to be sure.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic (non-itchy) skin rash and diarrhea. And while alcohol can make them more severe, they usually go away shortly after finishing your course of treatment.
