-

Always inform your doctor about your medical history and any other medications you're taking before starting trimethoprim.
-
For cystitis, the usual dose is 200mg of trimethoprim taken twice daily for three days. If you're prone to recurrent infections, your doctor may recommend a different dosing regimen. It’s important to take each dose as prescribed and not to miss any doses to ensure the treatment is effective.
