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.

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?

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.

Nope, won't work for shingles. If it actually is shingles it won't impact a shingles infection. Shingles is a reemergence of the Chicken pox virus, usually initially acquired in childhood, later in life.
