Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Skin Infection: I began getting serious boils in the worst places a man could ever get them. A nurse friend of mine knowing I was diabetic said that many diabetics get boils in the genital area and suggested I take Bactrim. This drug cleared them up quickly,leaving me to be one happy man.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Skin Infection: I had a very small cut next to my fingernail that turned into a full-blown staph infection (cellulitis. It very quickly (within 24 hours) spread up my finger to my second knuckle. My doctor prescribed 10 days of Bactrim and by the second day the infection began to subside. No side effects that I can think of.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: I never had an allergic reaction until I took this medication, now I learned the hard way I'm allergic to sulfa drugs. After one dose I had a lot the serious side effects: high fever, intense stomach pain, insomnia, hallucinations, anxiety, non-stop chills/shaking, vomiting, rash. Needless to say I ended up in the hospital for 3 days. I think my that you need to be careful when taking the drug and be aware of all the serious side effects.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Acne: I've been using this product for a little over a week now and already my skin is clearing up! I've dealt with acne and post-acne scarring for about 3 years now. I am 16 and I'm so glad i found something thats working! I used it along with finacea (azelaic acid) and my skin just keeps improving!

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Skin Infection: I was diagnosed with MRSA, a staph infection that is like small boils on the skin. I was on Bactrim for two weeks and it seemed to clear it up. Actually improved in a couple of days. After a week of being off the Bactrim, I started getting the boils back. Had to take another two weeks of Bactrim.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Skin Infection: I was prescribed this for a nasty spider bite that got infected. The infection started getting better after one day but the nausea is 24/7. I could hardly eat anything and had trouble sleeping because of the horrible feeling in my stomach. Was prescribed 2 pills a day for 10 days. The pills were large.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bronchitis: Had a bad case of bronchitis and Bactrim was prescribed. Within a day I was feeling better and was completely well in 3-4 days. Amazing! However, my wife was prescribed the same drug for her bout of bronchitis and found that she was allergic to it and had horrible stomach pain. So it's obviously not for everyone.

SMZ-TMP DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: I would get a urinary tract infection when I had sex. To control the situation my doctor prescribed SMZ-TMP DS. I took one or 2 a day for years. As long as I took the pills I was not bothered with a UTI. Miss a day or 2, and UTI. Worked wonderful.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Acne: Bactrim takes about a week before you see the changes. You must stay on the medicine or the acne will come back within two to three days of stopping.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: I felt better after 4 days. The reason why I didn't give this medication a 10 is because I experienced back pain while on this medication. Secondly, because I have to take the medicines for 7 days. I would have prefered to take AZO since it's only a 2 day medication but I couldn't because I was allergic to it.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Skin Infection: I have been using this for about 6 days now and already notice a huge difference. The first few days I was very tired but it was well worth it to get rid of the skin condition that came from nowhere. I am 32 and my skin had never done this before. I am so happy that this is working and thank God that it was not an expensive medication either considering I am a widow and single mom. I would tell anyone with this problem to try this first and skip anything else. It is just an infection. Best of luck to you all.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: Little did I know, I am horribly allergic to Sulfa. After two pills, I began experiencing horrible leg and arm cramps. They were so bad, that I was unable to stand for longer than a couple of minutes. These symptoms took about a week to fully disappear and this was from taking only 2 pills!

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Skin Infection: I took Bactrim for a bacterial infection under my skin, on my face, that resulted in many cystic like bumps. They were so painful. After taking the medicine for just a few days, the swelling and pain went away and the bumps cleared up. I would take this medicine again.
