How does sulfamethoxazole (smx-smz-tmp) affect blood sugar levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: No, but the infection you're taking it for can elevate your blood sugar if you have diabetes. The antibiotic will help bring your sugar back to where it was, if it treats the infection correctly.
