About Trimzole-DS Tablet

Trimzole-DS Tablet is used to treat and prevent lung infections caused by a bacteria called Pneumocystis jirovecii, infections caused by a bacteria called Toxoplasma, urinary tract infections (water infections), respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, ear infections such as otitis media. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Trimzole-DS Tablet does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Trimzole-DS Tablet contains Trimethoprim (folic acid inhibitors) and Sulfamethoxazole (sulfonamides). Trimethoprim prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid, and sulfamethoxazole stops the bacteria from making dihydrofolic acid. Tetrahydrofolic acid and dihydrofolic acid are essential for the formation of proteins and nucleic acids, which are necessary for the survival of bacteria. By inhibiting these, Trimzole-DS Tablet kills the bacteria and stops their growth. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections.

Take Trimzole-DS Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. The dose and duration of Trimzole-DS Tablet can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, diarrhoea, skin rashes, nausea, vomiting, heart problems, fever, convulsions or seizures, blood or cloudiness in your urine, hallucinations, and mouth ulcers. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Before starting Trimzole-DS Tablet , please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic) or kidney or liver problems. Do not take Trimzole-DS Tablet on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Consult your doctor before taking Trimzole-DS Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol consumption to prevent unpleasant side effects such as fast heartbeats, warmth or redness under your skin, tingly feeling, nausea, and vomiting. Trimzole-DS Tablet should not be given to children below 12 years. Keep your doctor informed about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better, as it is an antibiotic.
