What Causes Vomiting And Itching After Taking Trimethoprim?
Question: Iwas prescribed sulfamett/trimethoprim 800/160 tabs,,Vomiting, no appetite and extreme itching of my hands palms.
Brief Answer:
Known adverse drug reactions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Vomiting and itching are noted common adverse drug reactions of Trimethoprim/Sulphamethoxazole occrring in more than 1% of those on this drug combination.
Loss of appetite would be an outcome of vomiting.
If your doctor has prescribed you this for a noted running infection in the background of Psoriasis - you need to discuss with him if these symptoms are severe and debilitating. Do not discontinue this drug without medical supervision as the course needs completion.
Let me know if I have missed out any other concern in your question.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
