In the title compound, 2C14H19N4O3+·C7H3NO42−·5H2O, the asymmetric unit contains two trimethoprim cations ( A and B), a dipicolinate anion and five water molecules. One of the picolinate carboxylate groups interacts with cation A via a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a ring motif (8). A loop of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds is formed between four water molecules and the two carboxylate groups to form a supramolecular chain along the a axis. Molecules A and B constitute a base pair via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, and these base pairs are cross-linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
