REPORT

My girlfriend had surgery 3 days ago, they prescribed Bactrim ds 800/160mgs and Cephalexin 500mg caps. She tore her rotator cuff last year & after surgery the Dr prescribed these meds without explaining what kind of infection she had, the next day she was itching & had rash. She's weak, tired, she feels sick & idk if she should continue taking it until she sees the dr. do these medicines cause these side effects, should she stop taking them & what kind of infection could she have from a rotator cuff in her right arm?

Hello, Tamila! How are you?

Antibiotics, such as these, are often prescribed together in the case of severe infections, or if a doctor can't be completely certain what type of bacteria has caused the infection.

Learn more Sulfa/Trimeth details here.

Learn more Cephalexin details here.

These antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, they should only be taken if they have been prescribed for this by your doctor. Taking antibiotics inappropriately creates the risk of your developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which could lead to further health problems down the road.

And a large number of people have bad reactions to the Sulfa/Trimeth, since it is sulfa based, so if you start developing hives, you should seek medical attention immediately, as that may be the sign of a dangerous reaction starting.

Has your doctor prescribed them both?
