What Causes Dizziness And Nausea While On SMZ-TMP DS?

I am prescribed to SMZ/TMP 800-160 Mg and I have been very sleepy, dizzy, nauseated and weak since I have been taking it. When I read online that if you have any of these symptoms to call your doctor right away, but the nurse said to keep taking it.

Hi
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health issues.

SMZ/TMP usually causes nausea in many patients. However dizziness and drowsiness are not associated with it. If problem of dizziness is more you should consult treating physician. Causes of dizziness should be ruled out.
