Sulfa Trim Ds

I was told to take 2 a day for 10 days. But i cant seem to handle taking them. Everytime I take it I throw up. Could it be that it is to strong? If so can i just take half a tablet or one a day instead of two? Wil it be as affective? ## Have you consulted your doctor? You may need to try a different medication. Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim is an antibiotic and it can cause nausea, as a side effect, however, if it is that severe, you should consult your doctor about trying a different antibiotic.

I am coumadin and have a terrible time with level fluctuations. I bleed very quickly. What is the interaction problem with sulfatrim? I am taking it for a sinus infection. ## Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim, the active ingredients in Bactrim, is an antibiotic that is used to treat various types of infections. When taken with Coumadin, which contains the active ingredient Warfarin, the plasma concentrations of the Coumadin can be increased, meaning that you are absorbing more of the medication than usual and your body isn't processing it out at the normal rate. This can result in increased bleeding dangers. Does your doctor know you are on both of these?

I'm on the sulfameth/trimethop medication right now for the treatment of mild ancne. Why should I avoid sunlight? I went to a tenning bed and had no changes. ## this medicine can give you a headache because it makes you more sensitive to light. ## What may happen if combined with caffeine? ## It can make you heat/light sensitive, which could result in your burning, much sooner than usual, you could also develop sun poisoning, skin rashes, and etc. Sulfamethoxazole with Trimethoprim can also cause elevated heart rate, and nervousness, as side effects, so combining it with caffeine could worsen those issues.

I am prescribed this drug for recurrent middle ear infection.
