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.

Key Benefits
  • Effective treatment for uncomplicated cystitis and UTIs
  • Rapid symptom relief when taken at the first sign of infection
  • Typically prescribed as a 3-day course for women
  • Can also be used preventatively in recurrent UTIs
  • Well tolerated and widely prescribed

Who Can Use Trimethoprim?

Trimethoprim may be suitable for adults who:
  • Have symptoms of cystitis or have been diagnosed with a UTI
  • Experience frequent UTIs and require preventative treatment
  • Are not allergic to trimethoprim or sulfa medications
Trimethoprim may not be suitable for:
  • Pregnant women (especially in the first trimester)
  • Individuals with kidney or liver disease
