BACTRIM  (SULFAMETHOXAZOLE; TRIMETHOPRIM):  This medication is a combination of two antibiotics: sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections (such as middle ear, urine, respiratory, and intestinal infections). It is also used to prevent and treat a certain type of pneumonia (pneumocystis-type). This medication should not be used in children less than 2 months of age due to the risk of serious side effects. This medication treats only certain types of infections. It will not work for viral infections (such as flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  prostate infection a rash that resembled hives; hive-like blotches appeared all over the body. The itching was absolutely unbearable--i couldn't even go to work! DO NOT TAKE BACTRIM! Read up on what other numerous users have gone through by taking this medicine. I had to go to the doctor to get an anti-inflammatory shot, Clarinex, and a special lotion to clear up the blotches that appeared EVERYWHERE on my body. My doctor has recommended that I take the antibiotic Cipro if any more problems arise from the prostate infection I had. However, after this experience I'll probably stay the hell away from it, too!

 2  blood in my urine (minute) this drug left me with a red face constantly like my BP must have been raised, and then with a rash on my face, but made it through the ten days suggested. It didn't help the blood in the urine. I suppose the doc thought it was a bacterial infection. F 50 10 days
