User Reviews for Septra DS

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: 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 DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Otitis Media: My son has IGA deficiency. This was the second antibiotic given for his ear infection. His fever did not return but the infection continued.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Skin Infection: 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.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Skin Infection: The side effects were pretty brutal as I was taking this and Clindamycin. Constant pain in the liver area, along with nausea...I am hoping it worked to be rid of the infection.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Bacterial Infection: First 2 1/2 days this seemed to be working for me. 3rd day developed a major headache and nausea, by day 4 I felt a bit feverish, but nothing major, by day 5 my entire body ached and I just wanted to sleep. The fever although not high continued to go up and down. By day 6 I felt just as bad, no headache, but nausea, feverish, chills, etc. Day 7 enlarged lymph nodes, stopped taking it, day 8-9 severe rash all over body. Seeing now poss signs of Steven-Johnson Syndrome.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: After my first dose of Septra my Urinary Tract Infection symptoms disappeared and my urinary system began functioning normally again. So, as far as being effective against UTI's Septra seems to do a good job. I've been on it for 9 days and I have one more day to go. However, there might be some side effects. In my case they were mildly unpleasant. The first night of Septra I felt extremely tired and I fell into a light sleep with the weirdest dreams of my life. They were more like hallucinations than dreams. However, they seemed to pass and the only other side effects were mainly gastrointestinal, i.e. mild diarrhea, bloating, belching, and a transient sense of mild nausea.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: After the first day I felt kind of better, the second--a little rash, and at the third -- changes of the mouth mucosa/lining.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: I have been having Urinary tract Infections for a while and have had them more than once. I have been given different kinds of medications to treat the infection-- even ones that made my urine turn orange and stained my underwear. I have to honestly say that the Septra DS is the best I have ever taken (I asked for the generic brand from my doctor). I know its huge-like horse pills, but after the first dose I felt relieved. The first thing I noticed was that I didn't have to urinate that often and the pain associated with urinating subsided. I never had any side effects with this medication.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: I am always nervous about taking new medications, especially antibiotics because they usually give me many side effects. However, Septra DS was very well tolerated! I don't do well with large pills, so I split them in two (since they're scored for that purpose) and found them much easier to swallow. I took each half about 30 minutes apart and never had any side effects other than a funny taste in my mouth, which may have been from the pyridium (stuff that turns pee orange) for the pain, which I stopped after the first day.

Septra DS (sulfamethoxazole/ trimethoprim) for Urinary Tract Infection: I have a severe allergic reaction. I had extreme rash, with blisters all over my body, including the inside of my mouth. This happened after taking it for three days. It wasn't a positive experience.
