Sulfamethoxazole -TMP DS can cause nausea, constipation, headache and dizziness in other patients too. Though severe headache is infrequent, it is experienced by some patients too or the other symptoms might aggravate it.
I would suggest you to try to complete the course or if the side effects are intolerable, contact your doctor for alternatives if the UTI is not yet completely cured.
I hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healhcaremagic. Have a nice day.
