Sulphamethoxazole BP

Whatsapp Order

Sulphamethoxazole BP is a synthetic sulfonamide antibiotic widely used in human and veterinary medicine for treating bacterial infections. It acts by inhibiting bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid, thereby preventing bacterial growth. It is commonly combined with trimethoprim for synergistic effects against a broad spectrum of bacteria. The British Pharmacopoeia (BP) grade guarantees pharmaceutical purity and quality, making it suitable for formulation into tablets, suspensions, and other dosage forms.
