How To Manage The Side Effects Of Bactrim?
I am currently taking Bactrim. I ve had side effects: aches, chills, fatigue. It was worse second day and today (day 5). My pharmacist said as long as I can deal with side effects and they don t worsen, I can continue to take. I don t want to stop b/c of issues with not completing full cycle of antibiotics. Are there things I can do to lessen the side effects I m experiencing?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
Among the side effects of bactrim, aches, chills and fatigue...have been described.Such effects may be reduced by taking the minimum dose that is needed to treat your condition.This may best be evaluated by your Doctor.Also, since you are on day five already, i will suggest you just bear it more for a few days and complete your dose.
Hope this will help
Wish you good health
