Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband just experienced an episode of nystagmus . Only med he is taking is Bactria ds past surgery on his hands. He has been reading a lot recently which is unusual for him. Got up to go to bathroom and noticed eyes moving . Could it be side effect of Bactria?
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.
