Proloprim (active ingredient: trimethoprim) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Proloprim is used for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections, including cystitis and pyelonephritis, caused by susceptible bacteria.
  2. Respiratory Tract Infections: It is indicated for the treatment of certain respiratory infections, such as bronchitis, caused by specific bacterial pathogens.

Proloprim belongs to a class of drugs known as antibiotics, specifically dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors, which work by inhibiting bacterial folate synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and proliferation of bacteria.

Trimethoprim is available as an oral tablet and can be taken with or without food. Typically, it is taken once or twice a day, as per doctor’s instructions. Carefully follow the directions on the prescription label and seek clarification from the doctor or pharmacist if any part is unclear. Trimethoprim should be taken exactly as directed, and it is advised not to take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by the doctor.

The recommended dosages of Trimethoprim depend on the medical condition being treated, the patient’s age, and other factors. The recommended dosages of Trimethoprim for adults vary depending on the medical condition being treated and can range from 100 milligrams every 12 hours to 800 milligrams once a day. For children 2 months of age and older, the dose is usually based on body weight and is determined by the doctor.

Follow the doctor’s instructions carefully and do not take more or less Trimethoprim, or more often than prescribed. If you have any questions about the correct dosage of Trimethoprim, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist.
