Trimethoprim: A pyrimidine inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase, it is an antibacterial related to PYRIMETHAMINE. It is potentiated by SULFONAMIDES and the TRIMETHOPRIM, SULFAMETHOXAZOLE DRUG COMBINATION is the form most often used. It is sometimes used alone as an antimalarial. TRIMETHOPRIM RESISTANCE has been reported.
trimethoprim : An aminopyrimidine antibiotic whose structure consists of pyrimidine 2,4-diamine and 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene moieties linked by a methylene bridge.

"A 61-year-old patient with rheumatoid arthritis receiving treatment with methotrexate developed bone marrow hypoplasia after treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole."3.67Methotrexate toxicity in a patient receiving trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. ( Gutterman, LA; Thomas, MH, 1986)
"Trimethoprim seems not to be a safe form of therapy in patients with a megaloblastic process; many of the toxic reactions reported with this drug may be on the basis of an unrecognized megaloblastic form of haemopoiesis."1.25Toxicity of trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole in patients with megaloblastic haemopoiesis.
