Description

Trimethoprim sulfamethizole is a combination of two antibiotics: trimethoprim, which inhibits bacterial dihydrofolate reductase, and sulfamethizole, which inhibits bacterial dihydropteroate synthetase. This combination is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections. The combination is often used for its synergistic effect, meaning that the two drugs work together to enhance their effectiveness. It is studied to understand its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, its clinical efficacy and safety in various infections, and its potential for drug resistance development.'
