User Comments about Septra DS
06 Jan 2012 Didn't seem to works at all. Had to get a new prescription for a different drug for urinary tract infection.

07 Nov 2010 My infection was so bad I could barely walk, but Septra cured my infection in less than a week. I didn't have any side-effects at all.

07 Mar 2009 I am on day 11 of 14 days and feel sick most of the time. If it gets rid of the rather resistant infection I suppose its worth it but I do feel depressed, probably because it's not a lot of fun to feel sick.
