User Reviews for Sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim to treat Traveler's Diarrhea

“I've had a stomach disorder for two months. After several trips to the doc someone finally gave me this. I have had no side effects other then breathing heavy a little. But it rid me of what ever bacteria I had causing severe intestinal pain and massively messed up bowels. This helped in the first day. I was exposed to stagnant water. But it does say not work for some people. I would say if you had negative effects stop taking it. But it does work in the right situation. I can't believe I can eat food again.”

“I started taking this combo antibiotic sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim because I was getting diarrhea similar symptoms. I was prescribed for 10 days, 2 pills a day. First dosage, I felt lightheadedness and a bit dizzy. Second dosage, similar symptoms. 2nd day, I started to feel like I was breathing harder with dizziness. a few doses later, the symptoms above only started getting enhanced... especially the chest tightening and breathing hard. I decided to stop the medication immediately.”

“Took Bactrim-F for traveller's diarrhea in Colombia as Loperamide was not working. I felt better after the first pill. Sulfametoxazol 800mg, Trimetoprim 160mg, twice a day for 5 days. No side effects.”
