Trimethoprim and pbc

[Catherine3883]

Hi, I was put on a 5 day of Trimethoprim for a UTI, finished the course and now my itching is a lot worse. Dr said it was ok take and wouldn’t affect my liver. Has anyone else had this problem?

I haven’t had this situation but it you change your antibiotics don’t take Nitrofurantoin as that was the drug that the hepatologist said triggered my PBC. I find all antibiotics hard on my body.

Thank you. I’ll remember that. I took an anti fungal drug. Terbidefine/lamasil. That’s what set mine off.

Antibiotics always make me itch like crazy. 😢

I’ll remember that in future thanks. It’s the first time I’ve needed them since diagnosis 8yrs ago
