Trimetrexate is a drug used to treat respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchitis. It is an antifolate, meaning it works by blocking the action of folic acid, which is essential for the growth of certain bacteria and fungi. Trimetrexate is used to treat infections caused by these organisms, as well as to reduce inflammation in the lungs. It is available in both oral and intravenous forms. Trimetrexate is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is important to note that trimetrexate can interact with other medications, so it is important to discuss all medications with a healthcare provider before taking trimetrexate. Trimetrexate is used in combination with other drugs to treat respiratory diseases. It is often used in combination with antibiotics, corticosteroids, and bronchodilators. This combination therapy is used to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Some companies that produce trimetrexate include GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, and Pfizer. Show Less Read more
