What is Sulfamethoxazole?
Sulfamethoxazole is a sulfonamide antibiotic that is commonly used in combination with trimethoprim to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, bronchitis, and specific types of pneumonia. It works by inhibiting the production of dihydrofolic acid, a form of folic acid that bacteria require to produce essential proteins and DNA, thereby stopping bacterial growth.
