What is Proloprim?

Proloprim (trimethoprim) is a brand-name antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections. It is most commonly prescribed for urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by susceptible bacteria.

Proloprim works only against bacterial infections and will not treat viral illnesses such as colds or flu. Taking antibiotics when they are not needed can increase the risk of antibiotic resistance. For best results, Proloprim should be taken exactly as prescribed and for the full length of treatment, even if symptoms begin to improve early.

Common side effects of Proloprim include nausea, vomiting, skin rash, itchi

Important information about Proloprim

The generic name of Proloprim is trimethoprim.

Proloprim works as an antibiotic by stopping bacteria from making folic acid, a substance they need to grow and survive. Without enough folic acid, the bacteria cannot multiply, allowing the body’s immune system to clear the infection.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Proloprim. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Proloprim:

  • Proloprim is taken by mouth, usually one or two times daily, depending on the infection being treated.
  • It may be taken with or without food. Taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.
  • Tablets should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water.
  • Take doses at evenly spaced times to keep a steady level of medicine in your body.
  • Complete the full course of therapy, even if you start to feel better.
  • If you miss a dose of Proloprim, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double doses.

Some mild or common side effects of trimethoprim include:

  • Nausea.
  • Vomiting.
  • Stomach pain.
  • Loss of appetite.
  • Mild skin rash.
  • Itching.

Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using Proloprim. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:

  • Signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing.
  • Severe skin reactions, including blistering or peeling skin.
  • Sore throat, fever, or signs of infection that do not improve.
  • Unusual bruising or bleeding, which may indicate blood disorders such as thrombocytopenia or leukopenia.
  • Pale skin, fatigue, or shortness of breath, which may be signs of anemia.
  • Severe diarrhea or stomach cramps, which may be due to an infection with a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile (C. diff).

These are not all of the possible adverse reactions of Proloprim. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.

Before starting Proloprim, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including if you have:

  • Kidney disease or reduced kidney function.
  • Liver disease.
  • Folate deficiency or a history of megaloblastic anemia.
  • Blood disorders such as anemia, leukopenia, or thrombocytopenia.
  • A history of allergic reactions to trimethoprim or similar medications.
  • Conditions affecting the immune system.
  • This medicine may make you sunburn more easily. Use care if you will be in the sun. Tell your doctor if you sunburn easily while taking this drug.
  • Regular blood counts may be recommended during treatment, especially if Proloprim is used for a longer period or at high doses.

Proloprim should not be used in individuals who:

  • Have known hypersensitivity to trimethoprim.
  • Have severe folate deficiency anemia unless closely monitored.

Your healthcare provider will decide if Proloprim is appropriate based on your medical history.

Proloprim begins working shortly after the first dose. Many people notice improvement in symptoms within a few days. However, it is important to complete the entire prescribed course to fully clear the infection and reduce the risk of recurrence.

When Proloprim is taken with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, it may change how they work or increase the frequency or severity of side effects. Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:

  • Methotrexate, which may increase the risk of bone marrow suppression.
  • Phenytoin, as trimethoprim, may increase phenytoin levels.
  • Dofetilide, which may increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems.
  • Supplements containing folic acid, which may affect treatment response.
  • Sulfamethoxazole.

Proloprim is available as oral tablets containing trimethoprim.

Typical adult dosing for urinary tract infections is:

100 mg every 12 hours, or

200 mg once daily.

Dosage may vary based on the type and severity of infection, kidney function, and patient age. Pediatric dosing is based on their body weight and should be determined by a healthcare professional.

It should be stored at room temperature, away from the reach of children or pets.

Proloprim is manufactured by Burroughs Wellcome.

Yes, Proloprim contains trimethoprim, which is available as a generic medication. Other common brand names of trimethoprim include Primsol and Trimpex.

Do not stop taking Proloprim without talking to your healthcare provider. Stopping treatment early may cause the infection to return or worsen. If side effects become severe, seek medical advice promptly.

Talk to your doctor if you are already pregnant or if you have any plans to become pregnant. Trimethoprim may interfere with folic acid metabolism, especially during early pregnancy. Your healthcare provider will weigh the potential risks and benefits.

Talk to your doctor if you are already breastfeeding or if you have any plans to breastfeed. Trimethoprim passes into breast milk in small amounts. Your healthcare provider will advise whether Proloprim is appropriate during breastfeeding.
