What Is Bactrim Made Of (Top voted first)

Updated

Recently, I suffered a severe allergic reaction to Bactrim DS, with itchy hives and welts all over my entire body not to mention I have bone cancer.
I'm trying to find out what Bactrim is made from to protect myself from possible allergic reactions to any certain plant?tree?etc...what is Bactrim derived from? Mold?Grass? Or?????
Thanks~

Hello, TRay! How are you?

I understand your concern, but a medication is a fully refined form of whatever natural substance it is composed of, so you can't match the allergies that way.

For example, I am highly allergic to mold, but I can take most antibiotics without a problem, though many are derived from molds.

You are most likely just allergic to the Sulfamethoxazole in it, I experienced a similar problem several years ago, when I took. About 3% of the population are allergic to sulfa drugs, such as this. Other allergic reactions symptoms, as listed by the FDA, may include swollen/painful glands, body swelling and trouble breathing.

Are you on any other medications?
