I got a tattoo on my ankle to cover a scar from a flea bite two years ago. It still hasn't healed. I take 8 or more pain killers daily and suffer from unbearable pain every night even after taking sleep aid. I do not have insurance so what medication can I take to get rid of this problem? Would an old prescription of SMX-TMP help? ## If you're dealing with an infection that's gotten to a point where you're in constant pain, I would suggest you seek immediate medical attention. You don't want it to turn into sepsis. That being said, I recently saw my dermatologist for an infection.

I have enough 800/160 Sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim tablets for a course, but they are 2 years beyond their use-by date. Will they still be effective? ## This medication does lose efficacy, once expired, so it would be best to dispose of it and see your doctor for a new prescription, if you have an infection requiring an antibiotic, as directed by the FDA. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Are you on any other medications?

It also reduces the swelling and water retention caused by various medical conditions, such as heart, liver, or kidney disease. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic.
