I want to know do what medication does because I never took it before. I start today. ## Hi Tena, The combination of sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim is an antibiotic, prescribed to treat a variety of infections (including bacterial, fungal, and protozoal). One thing I also want to mention so you can be aware of it, is that many people here have reported serious side effects/allergic reactions such as skin rashes, joint pain, nausea, migraines, etc, while taking it. So god forbid, if you do experience similar symptoms (which don't happen to everyone) I'd just encourage you to contact your doctor immediately for further advice on what to do from there. I hope this helps answer your question! ## IS ANYONE HAVING TROUBLE URINATING AFTER BEING ON THIS MED? I'VE TAKEN IT FOR A GRO...

My doctor prescribed sulfameth/trimethoprim 800/160 mg TB for my Bronchitis for every 12 hours for a 10 day round. I have been on it for 6 days and was looking it up on the internet. Some websites state that for chronic bronchitis it should be used for every 12 hours for 14 days. Has my doctor messed up and my bronchitis will not completely clear up? ## Hello, Shannon! How are you? No, a 10 day dosing is the normal course of treatment. The FDA classifies this medication as being an antibiotic and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Have you had any improvement, yet?

I was prescribed sulfamethoxazole + trimethoprim 800/160MG TB (not sure what all that means), but it is for a bladder infection. I've taken 2 tablets a day for 5 days. I just got a bad headache and don't know if i can take Advil/Ibuprofen while taking sulfamethoxazole? ## What that means is that it is a generic for the antibiotic Bactrim and is in tablet form. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. And yes, they are often prescribed together to help treat the pain that some infections can cause, but you should always double check with your doctor to make sure it is safe for you to take them both. Has there been any improvement, yet? ## can I take over the counter tylenol while taking sulfame...
