Possible: First of all 2 weeks is long time to be on antibiotic. Why was it prescribed for you and why for such a long period of time? Rash might be from the medication. It is a sulfa drug and about 10-15% of folks have a sensitivity to sulfa drugs. Please see your doctor to eval rash and discuss. Dr R
