- Common side effects of Sulfatrim include diarrhea, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, mouth ulceration, swelling of your tongue, nausea, vomiting and tiredness.
- Along with harmful bacteria that leads to infections, Sulfatrim also destroys bacteria that occurs naturally in your mouth or genital areas. This sometimes causes an overgrowth of yeast, leading to infections like oral thrush or vaginitis.
- Some patients who take Sulfatrim develop thromboctyopenia or a shortage of blood platelets that causes easy bruising, prolonged bleeding time if you suffer an injury and even hemorrhages inside of your skull or stomach.
- Some patients develop an allergy to Sulfatrim, causing serious side effects including shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, anaphylactic shock, severe swelling of the face and extremities and life-threatening skin conditions like Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. If you develop any signs of an allergic reaction like wheezing or hives while taking Sulfatrim, seek prompt medical attention.
- Because it may affect normal fetal development, doctors typically do not prescribe Sulfatrim for pregnant women. Frequently, Sulfatrim makes the skin sensitive to sunlight, increasing your risk of sunburn while tanning.
