Smaller Dosage.
UpdatedI am so scared to take this antibiotic . Have any of you cut the dose smaller and then gradually worked it up to what it was suppose to be.. Will it still do what it's suppose to do without making us sick...I need help.

Hi Katie - have you taken any tablets yet and noticed any side effects? I have just been prescribed Bactrim DS and have taken half doses to start with. Taking medication is stressful if you have fear of reactions like I do. Hope you feeling ok. Tanya
Hello, Katie and Tanya! How are you both?
No, it will not work as well if you only take half the dosage. You need to take the full tablet, just as prescribed, in order for it to properly eradicate the bacteria.
It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
Is there anything else I can help with?
