I was prescribed Trimethoprim 100mg Tablets to treat a urinary tract infection. This antibiotic is commonly used to stop bacterial growth, which has been effective in treating my infection. However, I'm worried about the potential side effects. The leaflet mentions urgent side effects like allergic reactions, methemoglobinemia, and electrolyte problems. How common are these? I've also heard about C. diff-associated diarrhea. Has anyone else had a similar experience with this medication? I want to be prepared and know what to watch out for besides just the common symptoms.
