A member asked:
I am having a reaction to bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) ds with fever and rash. how do i know if this will turn into steven johnson syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop the med: Stop taking the bactrim, (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) and visit your health care provider for a good evaluation/examination right away if you think you have Stevens Johnsons syndrome (SJS). SJS causes a severe rash often involving mucus membranes like the inside of the eyes, nose, mouth, and genital region.
