BactrimThis page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Bactrim but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.Overview: Bactrim (when available) Trimethoprim, a synthetic antiinfective agent, is used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections, diarrhea, and, when combined with either sulfamethoxazole or dapsone, Pneumocystis carinii infections. For the treatment of initial episodes of uncomplicated urinary tract infections Mechanism Of Action: Trimethoprim binds to bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, subsequently interfering with the uptake of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) into folic acid. As folic acid is a coenzyme responsible for the transport of one-carbon fragments from one molecule to another, it is an essential component of bacterial development. Sulfonamides inhibit bacterial dihydrofolate synthetase, the enzyme immediately preceding dihydrofolate reductase, and therefore act synergistically with trimethoprim.
