I had a kidney removed at the age of 19. I recently had a UTI and was prescribed sulfameth/trimeth ds for it. With in an hour after taking the first pill my hands turned bright red and were uncontrollably itching and then the rest of my body started to itch, with in about 2 hours it felt like i had been beaten up my entire abdomen hurt (movement like coughing and breathing hurt the most) By the end of the day when it was time for my second dose i was beginning to get really concerned, but i took the second pill thinking i needed to protect the only kidney i have left. The next day i wasn't able to go to work i was in so much pain in the abdominal area. I also feel light headed and short of breath. I DID NOT receive a drug facts paper with the side effects like u would with any other drug ive ever gotten and im starting to wonder why. So I called the doctors office that prescribed it to me to see if it was an allergic reaction or side effect and it took them 2 days to call me in a new prescription! Heres hoping it didn't harm the kidney i have.
