Your symptoms should typically start to improve within 24 hours and should be gone after three days of treatment. If you no longer have symptoms, you should ensure that you complete the course to prevent the urinary tract infection from recurring.

If you still have symptoms or your symptoms have worsened after completing the course of Trimethoprim tablets, you should contact your doctor.

It is not recommended to take Trimethoprim 200mg tablets regularly without speaking to your doctor. If you are experiencing recurrent urinary tract infections, you should contact your doctor.

Side effects like diarrhoea can be reduced by using over-the-counter treatments such as loperamide. Nausea can be prevented by taking Trimethoprim 200mg with or just after food.

Trimethoprim is not directly affected by alcohol; you can drink alcohol whilst on this medication.

It is important to remember that alcohol acts as a diuretic and may cause the Trimethoprim to be flushed out of the system quicker; this may result in the course being less effective. It is therefore recommended to drink in moderation.

If you have forgotten to take a tablet, take one as soon as you remember, if it has been less than 24 hours since you took your last tablet. You should then resume taking Trimethoprim as normal.

If more than 24 hours have passed since you took your last tablet, take your next tablet at the next scheduled time and take it as directed.

You must remember to take Trimethoprim regularly as directed and to ensure you complete the course, as failing to do so could prolong the bacterial infections.
