A member asked:
I have had to take bactrim ds for a week and i have heard you can easily get steven-johnson syndrome after taking it. how likely is that to occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rarely: This can happen but not "easily". As a guess, under one person in 10,000 to 100,000 people treated with bactrim get S-J syndrome.
