Trimethoprim is employed to treat bacterial infections affecting specific organ systems.

- Urinary tract infections: eradicates susceptible uropathogens and alleviates urinary symptoms. - Respiratory tract infections: effective against bacterial bronchitis, sinusitis and pneumonia caused by susceptible organisms. - Gastrointestinal infections: used for bacterial enteritis such as traveler's diarrhea caused by susceptible strains.

Trimethoprim may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset. - Vomiting: occasional episodes. - Diarrhea: loose stools. - Skin rash: mild erythematous rash.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis): rapid onset of breathing difficulty, swelling, hives. - Hematologic abnormalities: aplastic anemia, agranulocytosis, or severe neutropenia. - Stevens-Johnson syndrome: severe mucocutaneous reaction. - Kidney injury: interstitial nephritis.

When prescribing Trimethoprim, clinicians should consider several safety considerations.

- Renal impairment: dose adjustment may be required in patients with reduced kidney function. - Hepatic disease: monitor liver function in patients with existing liver disorders. - Concomitant folate deficiency: supplement may be needed as drug interferes with folate metabolism. - Pregnancy: use only if clearly needed; safety data are limited. - Pediatric use: dosage must be individualized by weight and age under medical supervision. - Store at ambient temperature: keep the suspension below 25 °C, in the original container, protected from moisture and light.

Trimethoprim can interact with other medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Methotrexate: increased toxicity due to additive folate antagonism. - Phenytoin: reduced plasma levels of Trimethoprim, decreasing effectiveness. - Sulfonamides: enhanced risk of severe skin reactions and bone marrow suppression.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: may potentiate anticoagulant effect, requiring INR monitoring. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: increased risk of hyperkalemia, especially in renal impairment. - Oral contraceptives: may reduce contraceptive efficacy, advise alternative methods.
