Benefits of Trimethoprim

Trimethoprim can quickly and effectively cure a cystitis infection and reduce the associated discomfort, with symptoms lessening in as little as 24 hours. It is the most prescribed medication for the purpose of treating cystitis. It is particularly beneficial for women who experience recurrent cystitis. It is a very convenient medication to take due to its tablet form and the risk of side effects is considered to be extremely low.

How does Trimethoprim work?

Trimethoprim is an antibiotic medication, which means that it has been specifically created to target certain bacteria in order to treat an infection. This medication can cure the cystitis infection because it inhibits the production of folate, which is vital to the life of bacteria. Without folate, bacteria are unable to produce DNA and therefore cannot multiply. This means the infection cannot spread, and the immune system can perform its task of killing the infection more effectively.

Can anyone take Trimethoprim?

Most women over the age of 18 will be able to take Trimethoprim without any problems, but it is not considered to be a suitable medication for everyone. If you are pregnant, it is unlikely that you will be prescribed this medication. This is also the case if you have kidney disease or a blood disorder. Some antibiotics should not be taken alongside this medication, so it is important that you disclose any medications that you are taking while completing your online consultation if you choose to buy Trimethoprim from HealthExpress.

How to take Trimethoprim

Trimethoprim comes in tablet form, either as a 200mg dosage or a 100mg dosage. When used to treat a sudden infection, this medication is usually prescribed as a 200mg tablet to be taken twice a day for three to 14 days, depending on the severity of the infection. It can also be taken as a long-term preventative treatment in a 100mg once daily dosage for people who experience frequent recurrent infections. These tablets should be swallowed whole, preferably with a full glass of water, but it is up to you whether you take them with or without food. You should make sure you take the treatment exactly as it has been prescribed to you.
