For the treatment of initial episodes of uncomplicated urinary tract infections due to susceptible strains of the following organisms: Escherichiacoli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter species and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species, including S. saprophyticus. Cultures and susceptibility tests should be performed to determine the susceptibility of the bacteria to trimethoprim. Therapy may be initiated prior to obtaining the results of these tests. Trimethoprim tablets are contraindicated in individuals hypersensitive to trimethoprim and in those with documented megaloblastic anemia due to folate deficiency.

is a white to cream colored,
odorless, bitter compound. The structural formula is represented

Trimethoprim Tablets USP, 100 mg contain the following inactive
ingredients: anhydrous lactose,
colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate,
sodium starch glycolate and
stearic acid.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Trimethoprim is rapidly absorbed following oral administration. It
exists in the blood as unbound,
protein-bound and metabolized forms. Ten to twenty percent of
trimethoprim is metabolized, primarily in
the liver; the remainder is excreted unchanged in the urine. The
principal metabolites of trimethoprim
are the 1- and 3-oxides and the 3'- and 4'-hydroxy derivatives. The
free form is considered to be the
therapeutically active form. Approximately 44% of trimethoprim is
bound to plasma proteins.
Mean peak plasma concentrations of approximately 1 mcg/mL occur 1 to 4
hours after oral
administration of a single 100 mg dose. A single 200 mg dose will
result in serum levels approximately
twice as high. The half-life of trimethoprim ranges from 8 to 10
hours. However, patients with
severely impaired renal function exhibit an increase in the half-life
of trimethoprim, which requires
either dosage regimen adjustment or not using the drug in such
patients (seeDOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION). During a 13-week study of trimethoprim administered
at a daily dosage of 200
mg (50 mg q.i.d.), the mean minimum steady-state concentration of the
drug was 1.1 mcg/mL. Steady-state
concentrations were achieved within 2 to 3 days of chronic
administration, and were maintained
throughout the experimental period.
Excretion of trimethoprim is primarily by the kidneys through
glomerular filtration and tu
