Question 1

does bactrim have residual effects ?

Accepted Answer

Missing info: Why are you on bactrim &amp; why do you ask? You will get the most from this site when you provide background information with any question so answers focus on your real concern. Bactrim like any antibiotic can alter gut germs (transient) and trigger allergic response in some  people. A few can have a sun activated skin rash. For most, it does its job &amp; leaves the body without any issues.

Question 2

can i treat swoller glanda with bactrin?

Accepted Answer

Bactrim?: I don't recommend treating yourself with an antibiotic, unless there was a good chance that this was caused by a bacterial infection. Bactrim (trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. What you do mean by the word gland? Lymph node? Tonsils?

Question 3

would it be okay to take keftin 500mg if allergic to bactim?

Accepted Answer

Yes: One is a cephalosporin , the other is a sulfa drug, not related, you can take it.

Question 4

i was prescribed bactrim for endomestritis . i have a high level level of 58 is it ok to still take the bactrim? will it raise it more?

Accepted Answer

: You probably meant your BUN is 58, is it correct?
Serum creatinine is a better marker for kidney function.
With a BUN of 58 I expect your serum creatinine is above 2 mg/dl unless you are very dehydrated. If it is true, you have moderate chronic kidney disease and I will avoid Bactrim unless it is absolutely indicated. Otherwise, it should be changed.
This answer is voided if you do not mean BUN.

Question 5

my last dose of bactrim is wednesday after being on it a week. 
when will the medication be out of my system once i take the last dose wednesday am. ?

Accepted Answer

1-2 days: It will be pretty much gone a day or two after your last dose.

Yes if  it is: bacterial urethritis and the pathogen is susceptible to it.  Male urethritis can be traumatic, chemical, chlamydial, or bacterial.  Bactrim is a fair chioice but strongly suggest you determine the cause before taking an antibiotic which is not necessarily benign.
