Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) for Bacterial Infection: I HAVE CHRONIC BACTERIAL SKIN INFECTIONS AND MY DERMATOLOGIST PUT ME ON BACTRIM DS. IT DID THE JOB. GOT RID OF THE INFECTION BUT THE SIDE EFFECTS WAS WHY I HAD TO STOP. IT CAUSED ME TO HAVE BLOOD IN THE STOOL, SO SHE SWITCHED MY MEDICINE AND NOW I FEEL THE INFECTION COMING BACK. GUESS WE GOT TO FIND ANOTHER ANTIBIOTIC.

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 DS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) for Bacterial Infection: I had possible Strep throat. First day I took it my fever rose to over 102. I was shaking, chills, rash. My blood pressure (and I have high blood pressure) was 100/55 and my pulse was 50, I was not feeling well at all. I called doctor next morning and he switched me to Amoxicillin. I hope it works better. Now I have a under the skin rash all over and am itching. Guess I am allergic to this one.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: Any antibiotic used will put you at risk for a yeast infection. It depletes the normal flora in the vaginal area. Bactrim DS is a great antibiotic to get rid of many forms of infection though. Weigh your pros and cons. You can always add yogurt to your diet which assists in helping to prevent yeast infections.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: I get bladder infections a lot so I have a standing script for them but my Doctor said to only use them until symptoms were gone. It works wonderful fast no side effects. My urinary tract infections are usually gone in 3 days and better in one.

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.
