◉Sulfamethoxazole 160 mg + trimethoprim 80 mg is a liquid medication that contains a combination of two active ingredients, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Sulfamethoxazole is a sulfonamide antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, while trimethoprim is a synthetic antibacterial agent that works by blocking the production of certain enzymes that are essential for the survival of bacteria. Together, these two ingredients are effective in treating a wide range of bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, ear infections, and respiratory tract infections.

Composition of Drug
◉This is the cobination of two antibiotic drug ie. sulfamethoxazole 160 mg + trimethoprim 800 mg
How does the Drug work
◉Sulfamethoxazole 160 mg and trimethoprim 80 mg are antibiotics that work together to inhibit the growth of bacteria. Sulfamethoxazole is a sulfonamide antibiotic that interferes with the bacterial enzyme dihydropteroate synthase, which is necessary for the synthesis of folic acid. Trimethoprim, on the other hand, is a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, which is necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Together, these two antibiotics work to inhibit bacterial growth by disrupting two different steps in the bacterial folate metabolism pathway.
