No, this is an antibiotic and is only effective at treating bacterial infections. Athletes foot is caused by a fungus and requires an antifungal medication for treatment.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Sulfamethoxazole as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
