Trimethoprim BP Micronised

Whatsapp Order

Trimethoprim BP Micronised is a high-purity, fine powdered form of trimethoprim, an antibiotic used primarily for its bacteriostatic properties. The micronisation process enhances its solubility and bioavailability, making it more effective in pharmaceutical formulations. Trimethoprim acts by inhibiting bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, thereby preventing bacterial DNA synthesis and growth. It is widely used alone or in combination therapies to treat a variety of bacterial infections.
