"I am taking Septra for an infection on the tip of my nose. Day one was horrible. Nausea, fatigue, and vertigo (felt like a flu). That lasted one day. Days 2-7 have been without issues. I take it with a meal and a good 12-16 ounces of fluid. Three days to go, and I expect that will be fine. My infection appeared much better by the 4th day."

"I was prescribed Septra for a bacterial infection. The prescription was for ten days, and about the fifth day, I had a headache that started with severe lower back pain also. On the seventh day, I broke out from head to toe with severe hives."
