Description
What is Trimethoprim?
Trimethoprim is a medication that can be effectively used to treat cystitis in women and other urinary tract infections (UTIs). A urinary tract infection is caused when bacteria from outside of your body gets in to the urinary tract. This inflammation then results in cystitis.
How does it work?
Trimethoprim works by entering the bladder and working on the affected area of bacterial infection. It kills the bacteria and prevents them from proliferating. It then effectively treats the existing infection. It is important not to delay the treatment and commence as soon as you have the symptoms of cystitis.
Is Trimethoprim right for me?
If you are experiencing discomfort while urinating or facing an increased urge to urinate, you could have a Urinary Tract Infection. Trimethoprim can treat mild UTIs. However, it may not be suitable for you if the following applies:
- If you are allergic to Trimethoprim or any other ingredients in the medicaton
- If you are pregnant or breast-feeding long term
