Purbac 480 - My son is using Purbac 480, I need to know if it can cause damage to his liver, as he needs to take it for a long time. Recently I noticed that his color changed to yellow, we did a bloodtest and there were no liver damage on anything else. ## There has actually been some concern about using Purbac (Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim), since it has been associated with both frequent mild allergic reactions and serious adverse effects, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome, myelosuppression, mydriasis, agranulocytosis, and severe liver damage (cholestatic hepatosis, hepatitis, liver necrosis, and fulminant liver failure). That said, from my perspective, I wouldn't suggest taking this long term if your son doesn't "have to" or if he can find another alternative anti...
