What is Trimethoprim and how does it work?

Trimethoprim is a broad-spectrum antibiotic known as a Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitor. Trimethoprim inhibits bacterial DNA synthesis and is used to prevent and treat a wide range of infections.

Additional Information

How should I take Trimethoprim?

Before taking Trimethoprim, you should read the manufacturer’s printed Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) from inside the pack. It will give you more information about the tablets and provide you with a full list of the side effects which you may experience from taking them.

The recommended dose for treating lower urinary-tract infections is 200mg twice daily.

Most people are prescribed a short course of treatment, which usually lasts between 3-7 days. It is important to complete the course even if you feel better to prevent the infection coming back.

If you forget to take a dose at the right time, take it as soon as you remember. Try to take the correct number of doses each day but do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.

Along with their useful effects, most medicines can cause unwanted side effects although not everyone experiences them. The unwanted effects often improve as your body adjusts to the new medicine, but please speak with your doctor or pharmacist if they continue or become troublesome. You will find a full list of possible side effects in the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) supplied with your medicine.

Stop taking Trimethoprim and seek immediate medical attention if you notice/develop any of the following symptoms:

  • Difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat
  • Chest pain, shock, fainting or collapse
  • Blistering/peeling of the skin, skin eruptions/lesions, deep swelling of the skin (angioedema)
  • Pancreatitis (signs may include a sudden, severe upper abdominal pain)

 

Very common side effects (may affect more than 1 in 10 people)

Please tell the prescriber if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription. This is because Trimethoprim can affect the way some medicines work, and some medicines can have an effect on Trimethoprim. In the event of a medical emergency, you should tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse that you have taken Trimethoprim and when you did. Do not take Trimethoprim with other medicines unless your doctor tells you that you can.

  • Repaglinide (to treat diabetes)
  • Diuretics (water tablets such as Furosemide, Eplerenone, Spironolactone, Amiloride or Triamterene)

  • If you have severe liver disease
  • Trimethoprim should not be given to premature babies or babies during the first few weeks of life

 

Warnings & Precautions

  • Trimethoprim can increase potassium blood levels. Patients at risk of increased potassium blood levels include those with kidney problems, poorly controlled diabetes, or those on certain medicines or potassium supplements. The symptoms of severe hyperkalaemia might include muscle cramps, irregular heart rhythm, diarrhoea, nausea, dizziness or headache. Your doctor may perform blood tests to monitor your potassium blood levels

 

Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before taking Trimethoprim:

  • If you have kidney disease or are having dialysis treatment
  • If you have a deficiency of folic acid (may cause anaemia)
