What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE For the treatment of acute, uncomplicated urinary tract infections due to susceptible strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Limited clinical experience suggests the probability of therapeutic response in infections due to susceptible strains of Proteus mirabilis and Enterobacter species. Cultures and susceptibility tests should be performed to determine the susceptibility of the bacteria to trimethoprim. Therapy may be initiated prior to obtaining the results of these tests. For infections associated with urinary tract complications such as obstruction, or where tissue involvement is suspected, the combination of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole has been shown to be superior to trimethoprim alone. https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00025165.PDF PM date: May 14, 2014 Source product: TRIMETHOPRIM TABLETS; DIN 02243116; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
