Mode of Action
Co-trimoxazole exhibits the synergistic actions of its components (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) by 10-fold. Sulfamethoxazole inhibits dihydrofolic acid formation from PABA, thus interfering with synthesis and growth of bacterial folic acid. Trimethoprim inhibits enzymes folic acid pathway, preventing the reaction of the dihydrolic acid to tetrahydrofolate. Co-trimoxazole possesses bactericidal effects against E coli, Klebsiella spp, Enterobacter spp, M morganii, P mirabilis, P vulgaris, H influenzae, Strep pneumoniae, Pneumocystis (carinii) jiroveci, Cyclospora spp.
