A sulfonamide antibiotic that prevents bacteria from producing folic acid, a vital nutrient for their growth and survival.
A dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor that also interferes with folic acid production in bacteria, enhancing the antibacterial effect of sulfamethoxazole.

Treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis
Treatment of uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections

Prophylaxis of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) in immunocompromised individuals (often requires a higher dose)
Salgatran 400mg/80mg Tablet (Sulfamethoxazole + Trimethoprim) act synergistically. Sulfamethoxazole inhibits dihydropteroate synthetase, an enzyme crucial for folic acid synthesis. Trimethoprim inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, another enzyme in the same pathway. By inhibiting sequential steps in folic acid production, bacterial growth is significantly suppressed.
