Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): Septra DS is excellent for UTI. I have been on it for three days with absolutely no side effects. My UTI has cleared up rapidly. My only criticism is that the pills are rather large and very dry that is probably why it is recommended that it be taken with lots of water.

Septra (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): This medicine caused vomiting for me, whether my stomach was empty or not. I wish I could tolerate it, because it's a good treatment, but for those who are sensitive, this is not a good medicine.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): 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 (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): Worked very well. By the second-third pill it was feeling better. But Doctor gave me the DS 2x a day and I think its a bit much. By 4th day I felt really horrible. Tired, foggy headed, and lethargic towards the evening. Not going to take anymore pills. Did clear up the issue tho!

sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim: I took one dose of this drug on a Thursday afternoon. Within 2 hours I had terrible chills, tremors, and leg pains. This went on for 15 hours. After the second dose I experienced pain in my back, hips, and legs, which was unrelenting for 12-13 hours. The doctor said it was probably not an allergic reaction, but a sensitivity?

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): I was prescribed Bactrim for a UTI. It started to clear it up in a day, but I was so nauseous. I couldn't even sleep and then I started vomiting on the second day so I went back to the doctor.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): 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!

sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim: This is the second time using this medication. First time no problem and cleared my condition. Second time felt upset stomach, very tired with burning eyes, just not feeling well.
The medication does a terrific job to clear up this type of infection; of which I get frequently.

Bactrim DS (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): 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): 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 (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): I've taken this to treat and to prevent urinary tract infections and it has helped me with both. The only reason I gave it an 8 is because if I don't take it for a while and then I take it, I get hives. The next day when I take it I'm fine. Just happens the first time. When this happens I have to take a allergy medicine to help it go away.

Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim): 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.

sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim: If you are not allergic to sensitive to Sulfa drugs, this one is amiracle for UTI's.Since having a hysterectomy in 2004 I have become prone to UTI's unfourtanatly, But at the first sign of one, If I start The Bactrim DS, I am free of synptoms within 12 to 24 hours.It is very important however to finish ALL of the medication, don't stop just cause the symptoms go away.And for relief symptoms until the medication starts working, I highly recommend OTC Uristat
