What Causes Eye Redness After Taking Bactrim?
I am on Bactrim - started last Monday and take it M, W, F along with CellCept. I noticed the other day that one of my eyes was really bloodshot in the corner. Didn t really think a lot about it, but today both of my eyes are blood shot in corner. There is a ring with blood shot around it and kind of yellowish in middle. Could this be a reaction to Bactrim?

Hi and welcome to HCM,
Blood shot redness is highly suggestive of a sub conjunctival hemorrhage, which can happen spontaneously and is not at all serious. As with any other medication, this could be an reaction to Bactrium, but seems highly unlikely. Make sure you vision is as before, and if not see an eye doctor.
All the best !!!
