Great! After reading these posts I can expect this awful monster like rash to last a couple of weeks???? I was prescribed Bactrim DS 800-160 mg twice a day and I thought it sounded like a large dose. Developed flu like symptoms on day 3 with racing heart, achy body, stomach and muscle cramps. Woke up today (day 6) with itchy hives ALL over my body. Got a cortisone shot at urgent care clinic and taking benadryl. No change in my condition yet. Why don't they take this sh_t off the market? I could have died from it. I have used Bactrim many times for UTI over the years but was never prescribed this super dose which did this to me!!

My mom is taking it and has this rash that covers most of her body, and the itching is driving her nuts. She has two days of it left and is going to call her doctor tomorrow to see what can be done. She is also taking it for a UTI.
