Can bactrim cause nausea and vomiting?
My doctor prescribed Bactrim for an infection. Since yesterday, I've been feeling quite nauseous and had to vomit once. Is this a common side effect of this medicine?

I have to be very careful with medicines due to my high BP. Whenever I take strong antibiotics like Bactrim, they cause heavy acidity and nausea. Make sure you get your vitals checked and talk to your doctor about an antacid.

Yes, Bactrim is notorious for causing nausea and vomiting. It is a common side effect of sulfa antibiotics. If you can't keep food down, call your doctor immediately to discuss changing the medication.

Yes, Bactrim causes bad nausea. Always take it with a full meal and consult your doctor for a relief medicine.

Strong antibiotics can severely disrupt your gut flora, leading to vomiting. I always suggest having fresh curd or buttermilk a few hours after the medicine to soothe your stomach, but make sure to consult your doctor first.

Hey, don't stress too much! Nausea is actually super common with Bactrim. Just try having a light meal before taking the tablet and sip on some lemon water. If the vomiting continues, definitely give your doctor a call.

I totally get it, feeling constantly nauseous and vomiting when you are already sick is just the worst. It is a very common reaction to Bactrim. Please rest well and ask your doctor if they can prescribe something to stop the nausea.
