I am giving 15 tablets twice a day to my horse. Could you tell me what this takes care of? Is it for pain or an antibiotic? I want to know what it is for - please and thank you.

Not in feed, but if you put it in a tiny bit of water, the pills dissolve quickly. I administer it orally through a syringe. Very easy to do.

Put tablets in a cup add enough water to cover tablets , they dissolve then add and mix in feed and it will eat it all.

I was prescribed Sulfamethoxazole -TMP DS for UTI. I feel a bit intimidated to take with all its side effects plus the fact that years ago I had two bad side effect experiences with other antibiotics. I would appreciate anyone that has taken this antibiotic can give me any feedback of their experience and outcome. Thanks!

My brother is 58 yrs old. He has fallen 3 times yesterday and today he fell backwards. He has a bacterial skin infection on his face. Could sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim 800-160mg tb be causing this? He has taken about half of the prescription.

I was given sulfamethoxazole yesterday for a UTI. I took one pill yesterday and thought I was drinking enough water but around 3.5-4 hours after I took it my mouth became super dry. I thought I was having an allergic reaction and took some Benadryl and called the pharmacist and she said to skip a pill and try again today but I'm still feeling really dry and I've already drunk 1.5 bottles of water within an hour. How much water should I drink while on sulfamethoxazole?

Not sure if this reply will help anyone, but an 1100 lb horse should receive 12 tablets twice a day.

What I do is dissolve the pills in a coffee cup with about 1/2 inch water, it will make a paste. Mix with a cup or so of senior feed. Feed before the meal twice a day. They love it.

Yes it's the best, just turn it into a paste and pack it in. It seems to stay in place very well too.
