PLEASE SEND ME INFO ON THIS DRUG .THANKS ## I was taking this 6 months ago, but it was a round pill that said 80 mgs...i took half a pill a night (so...40 mgs). My doctor renewed my Rx but it is oval and bigger and says 800-160. How many mgs is this? ## the interpharm can you give me some info on it just to know a little about it thank you ## Sulfamethoxazole (800mgs) with Trimethoprim (160mgs) is a generic for Bactrim, it is an antibiotic that is used to treat, or prevent bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and non-allergic skin rash. Tara, there is no 80mg formulation. Are you sure this is what you were taking? Is it possible that you were just taking Trimethoprim by itself?

Ive been taking this medicine for two months now. No problems. But a day ago I got bit by a few mosquitos, turns out I now have west nile virus. I have horrible aches, headache, neasua and a fever. And I was just wondering if taking this med will lower my immune system? And if its safe to take with Tylenol? ## Hello, Brianna! How are you? How do you know you have West Nile? Have tests confirmed this? Why have you been on it for 2 months? And no, this is an antibiotic, so it should not lower your immune system, but it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It can be taken with Tylenol, but that depends on your overall health. What are you being treated for?

I have a boil in my armpit. I started my antibiotics on thursday night and the pills are called smz/tmp ds 800-160 tab. It is now monday and my boil is not getting any better yet. This morning it busted, in one tiny spot and brownish yellow stuff leaked from it. Should I be concerned that antibiotics aren't helping yet? ## You should see improvement after taking an antibiotic for a full 72 hours. At this point, it would be best to consult your doctor to see what you should do next, you may need to try a different one. Is there anything else I can help with?

I started feeling sick last week, but thought nothing of it. Went to the dr on Wed. and up until then I had no fevers. Was prescribed SMZ/TMP. She really couldn't diagnose me at that time. I started it Wed. night. Went back to work on Thurs. and had to leave mid morning. I could barely stand up straight. I kept doubling over. By the time I got home fever of 103. Still on med, but continue to get fevers of low grade. Continue to double over. My urine is dark yellow, almost orange. Is that because of the med? ## I had similar symptoms when taking it and it turned out to be a bad reaction that only got worse, when I didn't connect it to the antibiotic right away.

Physician asst. gave me this for a constant dripping of my nose. I asked for an antibiotic. I took one (it was a large white one with a slice indent in it In two hours I vomited it up. ## Hello, Elaine! How are you? That can be a side effect of this medication, as reported by the FDA, you may also experience dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Did you actually see the pill in your emesis? It would be unusual for it to still be fully intact and sitting in your stomach after 2 hours. However, if you did, you may need to consult your doctor about trying a different antibiotic.

I am an 80 year old female in good health with no medications until a recent bout with Urinary Tract Infection. I tolerated the pills for a few days week but the symptoms got so severe I stopped taking them. I took 15 out of 20. I was constipated for the first four days and had stomach discomfort with lots of gas and bloating. The last couple of days my legs hurt bad from my groin to my knees and the bloating and gas got worse even after regular bowel movements. I felt so bad I stayed in bed most of the day. I felt normal after getting off this medication. Will never take this one again. Now I wonder what ingredients could cause the most severe leg pain. ## This is a generic for the antibiotic Bactrim, smz stands for Sulfamethoxazole, and TMP stands for Trimethoprim.

Hello, I've had an abcess in my armpit for a week now. Five days ago, I went to Urgent Care and the doctor there prescribed SMZ-TMP DS to treat it. I've been doing warm compresses often to bring the abcess to a head to drain. Nothing is working. The infection is growing. Does this medicine even treat this form of abcess? ## It can be used to treat it, but there is a chance it may not work for you, it may not be effective at eradicating the bacteria that has caused your abscess.
