Trimethoprim prescrition…on bnf its says to give 100 mg bd for days in men…on prescrition notes they say 3 days 200 mg bd then 100 mg bd for rest of 4 days…?
What do u think ?
That’s because our prescription is for female. This are the following two ways of giving trimethoprim prescription:
- In woman: Trimethoprim 200 mg BD for 3 days
This is the scenario given in the prescription - In men and pregnant woman: Trimethoprim 200 mg BD for 3 days and then 100 mg BD for 4 days
Do share if this helps you understand.

Please, I can’t see the Trimethoprim scenario you’re referring to.
We still haven’t posted that case on the forum.
Okay, thank you so much. I got confused.
