Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim 800mg/160 mg Double Strength Tablets, also known as Bactrim DS or Septra DS, are a prescription medication used to treat bacterial infections. They contain two active ingredients, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, which work together to kill the bacteria responsible for the infection. These tablets are considered "double strength" as they contain a higher dosage of the two active ingredients compared to regular strength tablets. They are commonly used to treat various infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections.
Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim 800mg/160 mg Double Strength Tablets work by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria. Sulfamethoxazole is an antibiotic that works by preventing the bacteria from producing folate, which is necessary for them to grow and survive. Trimethoprim works by blocking the production of another important substance needed for bacterial growth.
Together, these two drugs are able to effectively kill or slow the growth of a wide range of bacteria, making them useful in treating various infections. This combination is commonly prescribed for bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and gastrointestinal infections.
