I am taking Bactrim DS for a UTI. I use Sronyx as an oral contraceptive. When I asked my doc about the birth control she said "Always use a back-up method when you're taking antibiotics." I was just checking online to find out how long this is necessary after I finish taking Bactrim and have found lots of conflicting reports on whether or not Bactrim could actually decrease the efficacy of Sronyx. MediGuard lists no interaction between the 2. Is this true?

My 5 year old daughter has been on this for 3 weeks to try to control an infection causing abcesses in her leg. (She has already had 2 surgeries to drain/remove them and needs a third) It doesn't seem to be helping as the abcesses keep returning, however she hasn't been sick or had a fever. I'd like to know how safe this is long term for a child and just what the deal is with the sensitivity to sunlight. Does that just mean she is more likely to get burned or is there something else I should be aware of. (She goes outside for recess at school) Thank you in advance for any replies.
