What Is A H49 Pill For

Has there been any change?

Do it help for a toothache cause im in alot of pain here lord help me ## Hello, Bella! How are you doing? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. This is a generic for an antibiotic called Bactrim that's manufactured by Aurobido Pharma. The FDA lists it as being used to treat or prevent bacterial infections and its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. That said, it will not do anything to relieve pain. The only way it can do that is by starting to work to eradicate the infection and it would take several days for it to do that.
