What are the risks of long-term use of trimethoprim-sulfamethaoxazole antibiotic for treatment of inflammatory rosacea? how to mitigate risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drug allergy: The sulfonamides ("sulfa drugs") are among the most common causes of allergic skin rash. Most people never develop rash, but it's possible this could happen in the future. There is nothing that can prevent allergic reactions. No other important side effects are likely; this is a veyr safe drug. Discuss w/ your doctor if you remain concerned.
