User Reviews for Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): 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): My doctor gave me Bactrim for serious boils that developed in my underarm, the medication worked wonders. My boils were better by the second day. I am very happy about the medication.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): 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): 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): 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 DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): It makes me quite tired and somewhat confused.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): 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.

Septra (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): This has cured my MRSA 5 times now. It is the only thing that works for me.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): 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 (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I took Bactrim for a boil on my face. After 2 days of taking, the boil began to drain but the nausea and stomach pain has been very uncomfortable.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I have had MSRA "boils" 3 times in the last 5 years. Each time I have been given a prescription for Bactrim specifically because its a sulfate based antibiotic - each time the infection made an almost immediate change for the better in size, swelling, and pain associated with those. I was fortunate enough NOT to experience any side effects and my overall opinion of this antibiotic is that for me it's been FANTASTIC in the treatment of MSRA.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I took Bactrim for a spider bite that was infected. The nausea and vomiting was unbearable but my wound was almost gone after a day. I think I would rather have vomiting than have an infection.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I found that within a day of taking Bactrim the infection got better, which was GREAT because I had had it for a while. I experienced a few side effects, dizziness, lack of energy, insomnia if I took the pill a few hours before bed (I found to overcome this I took the pill just before going to sleep) and headaches but they seemed to dissipate after 2-3 days.

sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim: Horrible Staph Infection was (and still is) attacking my nose. I waited a weeks before I saw a doctor, this was dumb, but I am uninsured. She prescribed this medicine for 14 days (twice daily) and Bacitracin ointment. The Doctor also tested this medicine with a culture from my nose and she told me that this will kill the type of Staph I have (and it was a normal variety, not MRSA). However, after the 14 days my nose was still somewhat infected. Follow up visit with same doctor that week where she just prescribed the same stuff again, and it produced the same results. I am now working on my FOURTH 14 day supply of this antibiotic, and the infection is still holding ground.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I was prescribed Bactrim 2x a day for 30 days, for Staph Infection. However, after taking it for about 7 days, I developed a rash. The rash did not itch, but started at my shoulders and went down to legs. I've now begun taking Benadryl to counteract symptoms. So far, it hasn't helped, rash still there. As far as the Staph infection, it looks a lot better.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I have been prescribed Bactrim for a skin infection in the form of 2 boils 1 on my arm and 1 on my leg. I have been prescribed Bactrim 800/ 160 2x per day for 10 days. Started feeling horrible after the first dose. Extreme dizziness, stomach issues, headache by day 3, feeling dehydrated with weakness and joint pain and jaw pain, loss of appetite, insomnia. I am on day 5 and the dizziness is really bad I had to miss work. Only took half a dose this morning and considering stopping. Thinking I may be allergic to the sulfonomide as my grandmother is allergic and this is the first time I have ever taken this. Glad to see others have had a good experience.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): Awful nausea and headaches that last all day! I'd rather have those side effects then suffer from MRSA but it has still been rough to deal with as I'm trying to go back to work.

sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim: My son had a serious "diaper rash" (even though he was potty trained) for weeks that no creams would clear up. It started out as a few pimples and quickly erupted into large, painful, pussy boils with blisters after breaking open. After trying every cream imaginable, my doctor prescribed Bactrim and the rash was literally better over night. In a few days, it was cleared up completely! He did, however, experience a lack of appetite, lethargy, upset stomach, and diarrhea. Nothing severe, but a little uncomfortable for him...but not as bad as his painful rash had been!

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): As far as I'm concerned, this works great. I've been on this for three days and my staph infection has considerably been reduced but the side effects are bad. I've actually taken the drug for the same purpose a month before with no side effects, so I don't know what the deal is. The first night I had at least half of the listed side effects and was probably the worst night of my life. I still haven't had any sleep and I've been on Septra DS for three days.

sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim: Took this for a major staph infection outbreak on the buttocks, back of thighs, and upper back/neck area. And maybe even on the sides of my face. Prescription was for 7 days, 2 pills 2x daily. Began to clear in two days. Took my last dose this evening and the infection is diminished. I am quite pleased and did not have any side effects that are noteworthy, just that I do not have regular bowel motions now, but will get some acidopholis back in my system and that should be taken care of. I hope I never have this type of infection again.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I have been on Bactrim for 1 week now and my skin is almost completely clear. I had a very bad infection across my chin and up to the right side of my nose, small red pumps, and and itchy rash that would peel over and got infected. Within 2 days I noticed a huge difference. This medicine saved my life for sure. Dermatitis and skin issues on the face can really do a number on your self esteem. I am back to almost clear skin and so so happy. A little tired and was dizzy at first but promethazine helps with that if your doctor can prescribe it, helps with nausea. other then that, this medicine rocks.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I am taking Bactrim for a minor staph infection on my leg. It is going away quickly. I am just experiencing fatigue and headaches. The headaches are probably due to dehydration because I am a runner too. I felt better after I drank more water with the medicine. Also I am experiencing a slight decrease in appetite.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I cut my finger on a piece of metal under the seat of my car and developed a skin infection. Had the infection drained, but was also prescribed Bactrim twice a day for 10 days. After 2 days I saw my finger start healing up and within the 10 days it was completely healed. I only experienced mild nausea and some insomnia. Other than that it did a great job! Very satisfied.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I went to the hospital last night because there was a boil under my armpit. Last month I had one on my buttock. They tested me for diabetes, I'm not a diabetic. I don't know why I keep getting boils. They couldn't drain it because fluid hasn't formed yet, so they gave me Bactrim. I have to take 2 pills every 12 hrs. They are huge. And hopefully they work well for me like they did for most of you!

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim): I stepped on a rusty nail and had alot of pain and foot started to swell. I started taking Bactrim and the pain went away within the first two pills which was 24 hrs. The only problem is that I can't function with the nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, headache. I think its because of sensitive stomach.
