Check with your doc& pharmacist first. This sulfamethoxazole-temp is serious, just look at all the possible side effects if enough water is not accompanied while it is being taken.

I was prescribed Septra,the pharmacy gave meSulfamethoxazole-TMP. I had surgery for a trigger finger, it's the middle finger which I guess is the reason they made the incision close to the middle of my palm. It was infected when I went in for post op visit. The dr. said keep a Band-Aid on it, that's the only treatment. I went back to get the sutures out, the nurses couldn't get them so the dr.did. As it healed I see a suture was left in. Now it's infected again(or still). Will this medicine cure it?

I had TURP surgery one month ago. I was prescribed Sulfamethoxazole TMP taken twice daily. I've am experiencing gastointestional stomach bubbling and quesiness for about 3 weeks. I understand this medication is commonly used for UTI. I had a UTI disorder in March and was hospitalized. Could this medication be causing my problem.
