Hi Guys,

Apparently the use of this drug has or is being fazed out and being replaced with Metformin anyone being or has been switched over ?

Any major differences between the two?

I thought trimethoprim was an antibiotic. I was treated with it once for a urinary infection and it made me very nauseous so never again! By the way this is my first post here though I have been reading the forum a lot and very good it is too. Will introduce myself properly at some point though it may be a long post.
 
Trimethoprim can be used alone for urinary- and respiratory-tract infections and for prostatitis, shigellosis, and invasive salmonella infections. Trimethoprim has side-effects similar to co-trimoxazole but they are less severe and occur less frequently.

A bacteriostatic antibiotic.
