How does Trimethoprim work?
Trimethoprim antibiotic tablets specifically targets the bad bacteria in order to tackle an infection. It does so by interfering with the bacteria preventing it from producing foliate, which is what the organism needs to live and grow. Without it bacteria cannot spread and an infection either never occurs, or is reversed as the bacteria is destroyed by the body’s immune system.
How do I take Trimethoprim?
Trimethoprim comes in an oral tablet in a 100mg and 200mg dose. Depending on the condition you are treating and severity you may be required to take the medication 3 times per day for up to 2 weeks to clear the infection. The lower dosage of Trimethoprim can also be taken long term to prevent cystitis returning. Trimethoprim can be taken with or without food.

Due to allergies trimethoprim is the best choice for a bladder infection for me. Used once before about 4 years ago after infection from catheter after surgery. Works fine for me and I have not had the side effects some experience. So in my case a very good choice.

It cleared up my UTI but made me feel extremely nauseated and gave me really bad headaches. I got prescribed it last year though without any side effects so I’m not really sure what that’s about.

This drug worked very well for me and cleared up my UTI in a matter of 48hrs, although I was on a 7 day course of 2x200mg/daily. Unfortunately once the tablets finished the infection returned so needed a 2nd course. I’m currently taking a low dose at evening to keep the infection at bay while the specialists do some tests. I normally get every side effect going and dread taking new medication in any form especially after an horrific experience with Ciorofloxacin but the only side effect I experienced with this was itchy ankles and feet on day two but that didn’t last into third day so I would class this as a minor side effect and insignificant. Good luck.

Since taking a low dose of this drug, I have had pricking all over my body. It feels kind of like shingles, though it’s not. I am supposed to take for 3 months, but will have to call Dr. to get something different because of this side effect.
