Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

SMZ TMP is a sulfa drug and can cause adverse reactions in many people. If you have had rashes and vomiting then please stop the medicine and get back to your emergency room for treating the rashes. A different safe alternative medicine can be taken after consulting your doctors.

Please take care.
