Sulfamethoxazole Tmp Ds Tablet Doses
UpdatedI was prescribed sulfamethoxazole tmp for a sore on my shin. I miss read the does and for the first 3 days only took half the prescribe doses. I am now taking 4 pills a day instead of the 2. Will this mess with my treatment? The meds duration was for 7 days.

Hello, Barb! How are you?
It would be best to double check with your prescriber, you may need to take it for a longer period of time or up it for several more days.
The FDA classifies this medication as an antibiotic and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
Is there anything else I can help with?
