Hello,

Nystagmus is found among people who take Bactrim, especially for people who are male, 30-39 old. Also, there are many reasons that can cause nystagmus like inner ear, stroke etc. I suggest to consult with doctor and change the therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
