Servitrim Forte uses
Pharmacological action
Servitrim Forte Pharmaniaga is a synthetic antimicrobial drug with broad spectrum bactericidal action. Servitrim Forte has a bacteriostatic action, which is associated with inhibition of recycling process of PABA and a violation dihydrofolic acid's synthesis in bacterial cells. Trimethoprim inhibits the enzyme that is involved in the metabolism of folic acid converting dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. Thus it is blocked two successive stages of the biosynthesis of purines and therefore nucleic acids that are essential for growth and reproduction of bacteria. High concentrations created in the tissues of the lung, kidney, prostate, cerebrospinal fluid, bile, bones.
Servitrim Forte is active against gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. (including Streptococcus pneumoniae), Corynebacterium diphtheriae; gram-negative bacteria: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Escherichia coli, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Proteus spp., Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Yersinia spp., Vibrio cholerae, Haemophilus influenzae; anaerobic asporogenous bacteria - Bacteroides spp. Servitrim Forte is active also against Chlamydia spp.

Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration Servitrim Forte Pharmaniaga is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Meal slows their absorption. Widely distributed in tissues and body fluids. The binding of trimethoprim to plasma proteins is 50%, Servitrim Forte - 66%. T1/2 of trimethoprim is 8.6-17 hours, Servitrim Forte - 9-11 hours. Trimethoprim is excreted in the urine in unchanged form (50%) and as metabolites. Servitrim Forte also excreted in the urine, mainly unchanged.

Servitrim Forte Pharmaniaga contraindications
Expressed disorders of liver and kidney function, blood diseases, deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, pregnancy, lactation (breastfeeding), hypersensitivity to sulfonamides and trimethoprim.
Using during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Sulfonamides and trimethoprim cross the placenta and excreted in breast milk. They can cause the development of kernicterus and hemolytic anemia in the fetus and newborn. In addition increases the risk of fatty liver in pregnant women. Therefore the use of Servitrim Forte in pregnancy is contraindicated. If necessary using of Servitrim Forte during lactation breastfeeding should be discontinued.
Special instructions
With careful use of Servitrim Forte in patients with a possible deficiency of folic acid, in allergic reactions in anamnesis, bronchial asthma, disorders of liver, kidney, thyroid gland. When long treatment should be systematically study the peripheral blood, the functional state of liver and kidney.
Elderly patients are recommended the appointment of additional folic acid. During Servitrim Forte treatment should be ensured adequate water pressure.
If the kidney function disorders the dose should be reduced and the intervals between doses increased.
The risk of adverse reactions is increased in elderly patients and patients with AIDS.

In concentration of 150 ug / ml the treatment should be discontinued until the concentration drops to 120 mcg / ml.
Servitrim Forte Pharmaniaga drug interactions
With the simultaneous application of Servitrim Forte effect of anticoagulants of indirect action is greatly enhanced due to slow inactivation of the latter, as well as their release from binding with plasma proteins.
In an application with some sulfonylureas may increase hypoglycemic effect which is associated with an increased concentration of free fraction of Servitrim Forte.
The simultaneous use of Servitrim Forte and methotrexate may increase the toxicity of the latter (in particular to the appearance of pancytopenia) due to its release from binding to plasma proteins.
Influenced butadion, indomethacin, naproxen, salicylates and other NSAIDs may increase the action Servitrim Forte with the development of undesirable effects, since there release of active substances from binding with blood proteins and increase their concentration.
Simultaneous treatment with diuretics and Servitrim Forte increases the risk of thrombocytopenia caused by the latter especially in elderly patients.
In the case of co-administration chloridine with Servitrim Forte Pharmaniaga antimicrobial effect is enhanced because chloridine inhibits the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid required for the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. In turn sulfonamides inhibit the formation of dihydrofolic acid, a precursor of tetrahydrofolic acid. This combination is widely used in the treatment of toxoplasmosis.
Absorption of Servitrim Forte at their joint reception with cholestyramine decreases the formation of insoluble complexes, which leads to a decrease in their concentration in the blood.
Servitrim Forte Pharmaniaga in case of emergency / overdose
Symptoms: anorexia, nausea, vomiting, weakness, abdominal pain, headache, drowsiness, hematuria and crystalluria.
Treatment: gastric lavage, fluid management, correction of electrolyte imbalance. If necessary - hemodialysis.
For chronic overdosage is characterized bone marrow suppression (pancytopenia). Treatment and prevention: the appointment of folic acid (5-15 mg daily).
