I know Doxy is horrible for the sun, but what about Bactrim DS? I go to south beach in 2 weeks and I wonder if I should take it while there, or when I should stop taking it before I go. Has anyone had any experience with this?

I have been on Bactrim DS for a year. I had no issues with sun last summers.
I would not worry
have fun

Sun is not a problem on Bactrim. It is a totally different med from doxy. I took it all through the summer with no problem. Doxy was a big problem.
Read the package insert and you will see that this is not mentioned as an issue with Bactrim.

My Bactrim DS bottle has a label warning against prolonged sun exposure. I have gotten a slight burn on my face by spending time out side on these days the last month where there was direct sun (I would not have normally).
