Side Effects Sulfa Trimeth 800 160 Mg

I was prescribed this antibiotic & Docycycline Hyclate 100mg cap 3days ago for my eczema which got infected (because I was scratching). On the 2nd day I have been taking both meds (BID every 12 hrs for both), I noticed that I developed rash & what looks like hives on my neck. Today, my upper chest has some kind of prickly heat rash like a baby's bum. Do I discontinue these 2 antibiotics?

Hi Lorna,

It's difficult to say which of these medications might be causing the side effects your experiencing. Both drugs you mentioned list skin rashes and hives as severe side effects or allergic reactions.

More details can be found in the links below:
nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682063.html#side-effects

nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a684026.html#side-effects

The precautions also state that you should call or contact your doctor immediately if you are experiencing such symptoms. I'd imagine that he'd have you stop taking the meds, but you should get ahold of him asap to confirm what should probably be done next.

I hope this info helps!
