Berberine Trimethoprim Capsules
Function and Efficacy
Berberine hydrochloride and trimethoprim have synergistic antibacterial effects. Berberine hydrochloride has inhibitory effects on a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro, among which hemolytic streptococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, Neisseria meningitidis, Shigella, Salmonella typhi, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, etc. have stronger inhibitory effects. It also has a certain inhibitory effect on amoeba. Trimethoprim mainly interferes with bacterial folate metabolism, selectively inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, and prevents nucleic acid synthesis. Therefore, the antibacterial effect of the two combined is stronger than that of a single drug, and the drug-resistant strains are reduced.
Ingredients
This product is a compound preparation, and its components are: each tablet contains 100 mg of berberine hydrochloride and 50 mg of trimethoprim.

Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: 1. Since trimethoprim can cross the placental barrier, the blood drug concentration in the fetal circulation machine amniotic fluid is close to the maternal blood drug concentration. Therefore, the use of this product during pregnancy must weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to use the drug. 2. Since trimethoprim can be secreted into breast milk, its blood drug concentration is high, which may interfere with the folic acid metabolism of breastfeeding infants. Although the problem has not been confirmed in humans, the use of this product for breastfeeding mothers must weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to use the drug. Precautions for the elderly: Elderly patients have reduced resistance and weakened metabolic capacity. When taking this product, they should pay attention to blood tests. If serious adverse reactions occur, the drug should be stopped immediately.
Drug Interactions
1. The interaction between berberine hydrochloride and other drugs is still unclear; 2. Trimethoprim; (1) When used with bone marrow suppressants, the chance of leukopenia and thrombocytopenia increases; (2) When used with dapsone, the blood concentrations of both drugs increase. The increase in dapsone blood concentration increases and aggravates adverse reactions, especially the occurrence of methemoglobinemia; (3) Anti-tumor drugs, 2,4-diaminopyrimidine drugs should not be used at the same time. It is also not advisable to use this product between courses of treatment with other folic acid antagonists because it may cause bone marrow aplasia or megaloblastic anemia; (4) The simultaneous use of reserpine can increase the elimination of trimethoprim and shorten its plasma half-life; (5) The simultaneous use of cyclosporine can increase renal toxicity; (6) It interferes with the hepatic metabolism of phenytoin, increases the half-life of phenytoin, and reduces its clearance rate; (7) The simultaneous use of procainamide can reduce renal clearance and increase the blood concentration of procainamide metabolites.
