A member asked:

If i take ibuprofen and don't get steven-johnson syndrome, does that mean i'll get it while on bactrim?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MUST you get SJS????: SJS is rare. Sometimes it is a reaction to a med. No, if you do not get it from 1 med., you are not likely to get it from any other med. Because it is rare. That means most Drs have never seen it. WHY are you obsessed about it?
