Reliable Antibiotic for Urinary Tract Infections
Trimethoprim is a prescription antibiotic used to treat cystitis and urinary tract infections (UTIs). It works by stopping the growth of bacteria in the urinary tract, helping to relieve symptoms such as burning, urgency, and discomfort during urination.
Order Trimethoprim online from MediClick Pharmacy through a short, secure consultation, with discreet next-day delivery across the UK.
How Does Trimethoprim Work?
Trimethoprim works by blocking the bacteria’s ability to produce folic acid, which is essential for their survival. By interfering with this process, it helps eliminate infection-causing bacteria in the bladder and urinary system.
It is most commonly used for uncomplicated UTIs, especially in women, and often starts to relieve symptoms within 24 to 48 hours.
