Sulfamethoxazole is an antibiotic that belongs to the class of drugs known as sulfonamides or sulfa drugs. It is commonly used to treat bacterial infections.
Sulfamethoxazole inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), which is essential for folate synthesis. When combined with trimethoprim, which inhibits a later step in folate synthesis, the combination is synergistic, making it more effective.
