Bactrim contains two active ingredients: sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. These work synergistically, meaning they enhance each other’s antibacterial effects.
Sulfamethoxazole prevents bacteria from producing folic acid, a vital component for their growth. Trimethoprim further inhibits folic acid production, effectively stopping bacterial reproduction.
This dual-action mechanism contributes to Bactrim’s broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against various bacterial infections.
Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for accurate information regarding dosage and potential side effects. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific health needs.
