Now ive just started taking trimethoprim again which is for acne but it never effected things last time I was taking it so I don t think its that

Hello,

I understand your concern.

Dehydration is found among people who take Trimethoprim.

So during the period that you are taking this medication I suggest to use a lot of liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
