Trimethoprim CAS:738-70-5

Trimethoprim is available in oral and injectable formulations, with oral administration being the most common route. It is prescribed for various bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory tract infections, and skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the infection and the patient's age and medical history. It's crucial to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by the healthcare provider to ensure the eradication of the infection and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Trimethoprim may interact with certain medications, so it's essential to inform the healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions or medications before starting treatment. Regular monitoring for any adverse reactions or signs of improvement is necessary to ensure the effectiveness and safety of trimethoprim therapy.
