For Urinary Tract Infection "This medication makes me extremely tired and causes headaches, but it seems to be working where other antibiotic treatments have failed to cure my infection. If you are able to tolerate the side effects, it's been a pretty good therapy for me."

For Bacterial Infection "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."
