This medication is available in a liquid dosage form, where one or more ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium, providing a homogeneous mixture for oral administration. The recommended dosage is 10 mg/ml once daily or as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and complete the entire course of treatment to ensure the effectiveness of the medication.

While taking Trimethoprim 10 mg/ml Oral Suspension, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids to aid in flushing the bacteria out of your system.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Trimethoprim 10 mg/ml Oral Suspension is a compounded formulation designed for the treatment of various bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections and bronchitis. The active ingredient, trimethoprim, is primarily eliminated by the kidneys, hence caution should be exercised when administering to patients with renal impairment. Dosage adjustments may be necessary in such cases.

Patients with a history of folate deficiency should also exercise caution when using Trimethoprim, as it can potentially exacerbate this condition. Similarly, those with a history of sulfonamide hypersensitivity should be cautious, as trimethoprim is a sulfonamide derivative. Patients with a history of hematologic disorders should also be cautious, as trimethoprim can cause hematologic abnormalities.

Trimethoprim can interact with many other medications, hence it is crucial to inform your healthcare provider of any other medications you are currently taking. It is particularly important to avoid using Trimethoprim in combination with other sulfonamides, as this can increase the risk of adverse effects. Additionally, it should not be used in combination with methotrexate, as this can increase the risk of methotrexate toxicity.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of Trimethoprim 10 mg/ml Oral Suspension, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information and guidance.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
