Somerset Therapeutics Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim Injection is a type of antibiotic medication. It is sold in a 30 mL multiple-dose vial, which means it contains multiple doses of the medication and can be used more than once. The active ingredients in this medication are sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, which work together to treat various bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, bronchitis, and ear infections. This form of the medication is given as an injection or infusion by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions when using this medication to ensure its effectiveness and reduce the risk of side effects.
Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim is a combination antibiotic medication that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Sulfamethoxazole inhibits the production of folic acid, which is essential for bacterial growth, while trimethoprim blocks the enzyme that converts folic acid into its active form.
Together, these two drugs work synergistically to disrupt bacterial growth and kill the bacteria causing the infection. This specific formulation is available as an injection, making it more appropriate for severe infections or when a patient cannot take oral antibiotics.
The multiple-dose vial contains a sterile solution that is injected into the body intravenously. This allows for the drug to quickly reach the bloodstream and distribute throughout the body to effectively fight the infection. The drug is typically used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, and gastrointestinal infections.
