Adults and children over 12 years old. Usually, the initial dose is two tablets 2 times a day (morning and evening). Tablets should be taken after a meal, drinking plenty of liquid. For severe infections, higher daily doses can be prescribed - up to 3 tablets 2 times a day. For maintenance therapy lasting more than 14 days, it is recommended to take one tablet 2 times a day.

Children 6-12 years old. The recommended daily dose for children is 6 mg of trimethoprim and 30 mg of sulfamethoxazole per kg of body weight. This dose should be divided into two doses.

The recommended daily dose for children aged 6 to 12 years is one tablet 2 times a day.

Duration of the course of treatment: for acute infections, with the exception of gonorrhea, the treatment should last at least 5 days or another 2 days after the disappearance of the symptoms of the disease.

Features of application

pregnant

This preparation cannot be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Children

The preparation is used to treat children older than 6 years.

Drivers

The preparation does not cause a decrease in psychophysical activity and the ability to drive vehicles and operate mechanisms. If side effects from the nervous system develop during treatment (dizziness, headache, convulsions, nervousness, feeling of fatigue), which can cause a decrease in the speed of psychomotor reactions, you should avoid driving vehicles and working with complex mechanisms.

Overdose

It is not known what dose of the preparation can be life-threatening. With an overdose of sulfonamides, there is a lack of appetite, colic pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, loss of consciousness. Fever, hematuria and crystalluria may appear, with chronic overdose, inhibition of bone marrow functions, hepatitis may develop. Acute overdose of trimethoprim may cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, mental depression, confusion, suppression of bone marrow function.

If symptoms of overdose appear, it is necessary to stop using the preparation, induce vomiting, take a large amount of liquid if diuresis is insufficient and kidney function is normal. Urine acidification will accelerate the excretion of trimethoprim, but will increase the risk of sulfonamide crystallization in the kidneys. The patient's blood count, serum electrolytes, and other biochemical indicators should be monitored. If bone marrow damage or symptoms of hepatitis occur, the usual treatment in such cases should be applied. Hemodialysis is ineffective. Peritoneal dialysis is ineffective.

In case of chronic poisoning, suppression of spinal cord function is observed, manifesting as thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, or megaloblastic anemia. In this case, leucovorin (5-15 mg per day) should be used.

Side effects

The most frequent adverse reactions during treatment with the preparation are from the digestive tract (nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite) and skin allergic reactions (rash, urticaria).

Interaction

Zidovudine: in some cases, the simultaneous use of co-trimoxazole and zidovudine increases the risk of hematological disorders caused by Biseptol. If it is necessary to use co-trimoxazole and zidovudine simultaneously, blood parameters should be monitored.

Folic acid Supplementation with folic acid has been shown to affect the antimicrobial efficacy of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. This was observed in the prevention and treatment of pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis jiroveci.
