Trimethoprim lactate is a combination of the antibiotic trimethoprim and organic compound lactate.
Trimethoprim, itself, is a synthetic antibacterial agent that inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, disrupting the synthesis of tetrahydrofolic acid, which is essential for bacterial DNA and RNA synthesis. Adding lactate (a salt or ester of lactic acid) facilitates factors such as solubility, stability, bioavalability or other pharmaceutical properties.
