What is Trimethoprim

TrimethoprimThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryTrimethoprim is an antibiotic used to fight bacterial infections. It works by decreasing the production of a certain enzyme in bacteria which stops them from making DNA and surviving. Trimethoprim is often used together with another antibiotic called sulfamethoxazole, but it can also be used alone to treat and prevent urinary tract infections. It has a similar structure and chemical makeup to another medication called pyrimethamine which is used to treat malaria.

Effectiveness

How Trimethoprim Affects PatientsTrimethoprim works by blocking an essential step in bacteria’s ability to make proteins and genetic material. It is effective against some types of bacteria, although some may develop resistance to it. Rarely, it can cause blood disorders such as low platelet and white blood cell counts. If you experience symptoms like sore throat, fever, pale skin, and bruising, be sure to tell your doctor right away. Before taking trimethoprim, it’s important to consult local antibiotic sensitivity testing to make sure it will be effective against the bacteria causing your infection.
How Trimethoprim works in the bodyTrimethoprim stops bacteria from making the proteins and genetic material they need to survive. It does this by blocking the action of an enzyme that helps create a molecule necessary for bacterial growth. Trimethoprim is usually given with another drug, sulfamethoxazole, which blocks the step before trimethoprim in bacterial protein synthesis. Together, these two drugs stop bacteria from creating the proteins and genetic material they need to live. When taken alone, trimethoprim only slows down bacteria; but when taken with sulfamethoxazole, it kills them.

When to interrupt dosage

The recommended measure of Trimethoprim is contingent upon the diagnosed disorder, such as Urinary tract infection, Immunocompromised and Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia. The amount of dosage fluctuates, as per the technique of delivery (e.g. Tablet - Oral or Tablet) detailed in the subsequent table.

Trimethoprim Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe lowest toxic dose of trimethoprim in mice and rats is 2764mg/kg and greater than 5300mg/kg respectively. Symptoms of an overdose may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches, mental depression, confusion, and a decrease in bone marrow production. Treatment should involve supportive care, and the stomach may need to be flushed out with lavage. Increasing the acidity of the urine may help the body eliminate trimethoprim more quickly. Dialysis may help remove some of the drug, but it is only moderately effective.

Trimethoprim for Urinary Tract Infection
I take it just once a day to keep things working properly. The only downside is that I sometimes experience a lot of gas.

Trimethoprim for Urinary Tract Infection
Blood and cloudy urine cleared up within a week of taking this medication, as directed. No bacteria was found on the culture. Does cause gas; however, probiotics seemed to help with that issue.

Trimethoprim for Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection
I've been using this treatment for six months now and I haven't had a UTI in that entire time. Prior to this, I was getting them every few month; some days were even really bad.

I didn't have any negative reactions, which was great.

Trimethoprim for Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection
I've been taking this for four months now to prevent UTIs. I generally take it before bed. Recently, I developed a rash on my neck that's been pretty itch and won't go away no matter what I do. It might be from sun exposure, so I'm going to stop taking the medication and hope that the rash goes away and that I don't get a UTI again.
