"I used to get chronic bladder infections, especially after intercourse. It did not matter how clean I thought I was or what I did to prevent them, I would still get them. I take 1/2 tablet of Bactrim after intercourse, as prescribed by my doctor, and I never get a bladder infection. Yay!"

"I started taking Bactrim on a Tuesday. By Wednesday, I was depressed and had terrible knots in my stomach. I was going to the bathroom almost every hour and had hives all day and night. Thursday, I felt a lot better, and my symptoms were mostly relieved as well. I thought it was worth the hives and frequent bathroom breaks. On Friday, my lips, gums, tongue, and face were all swollen. I didn't think it was the medication at all. The doc's nurse called to tell me that my culture came back and that they were switching my medicine. When I changed the medicine on Saturday, I had sores in my mouth along with the swollen gums. I made a dental appointment thinking that it was due to an immunization problem. By Sunday, I called my doctor and learned that I developed allergies."

"In the 1960s and early 1970s, I would get a bladder infection usually the day after intercourse with my husband, who was not circumcised. We were divorced after thirteen years, and I never had another bladder infection. Bactrim was the only drug that worked for me, and the doctor gave me a standing prescription during those thirteen years. I still think it's wonderful!!!"
