I've been taking SEPTRA DS for about 2 weeks I haven't had any major side effects only mild itching.I read some of the other reviews,some give this medication a not so good mark.I guess it all depends on what you are taking it for as for myself, I'm using it to treat a bacterial urinary tract infection besides drinking plenty of water,I also drink a least 2 or 3 glasses per day of 100% cranberry juice, by drinking this i think it may help lesson the side effect i have read about. Time will tell about the effectiveness, so far so good i give 4 stars, Ease of use 5 stars and Satisfaction I give 4 stars. Read More Read Less

I am on this medication twice a day for 1 week for an infected ingrown hair. The pills were extremely large and difficult for me to swallow without gagging. I experienced nausea and vomitting by the 2'nd day of dosage and also felt very disoriented. While this medicine works effectively, the side effects make is difficult to take.

My 4yr old granddaughter took the oral type. When she was almost through with it, she broke out in a "VERY BAD" case of hives. It was very distressing to her and her family!!!
