Sulfamethoxazole For Bladder Infections

I was on narcotics for 1 year due to a disk problem. I stopped for 5 weeks and after 2nd week I felt severe pain on my hip and lower sides, so back I went to my Dr. She assumed I had a urine infection and prescribed me an antibiotic. The first week of treatment didn't work so I went to the hospital for blood work, U/A's and a CAT scan that came back with a bladder infection. They then gave me another round of antibiotics (sulfamethoxazole) and I'm on my third day still in pain.

Hello, Joe! How are you feeling? Has there been any change?

The general rule with antibiotics is that if they are working, you should start to see improvement after a full 3 days of taking them.

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