Septrin 800/160mg (10 Tablets)

Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic for Bacterial Infections

Septrin 800/160mg is a combination antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Each tablet contains Sulfamethoxazole (800mg) and Trimethoprim (160mg), which work together to inhibit the growth of bacteria. This combination is often prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and gastrointestinal system, as well as for certain skin infections.

Active Ingredients

• Sulfamethoxazole (800mg): A sulfonamide antibiotic that inhibits the growth of bacteria by interfering with their ability to produce folic acid, an essential component for bacterial DNA replication.
• Trimethoprim (160mg): An antibiotic that works by blocking another step in folic acid production, making it highly effective when combined with Sulfamethoxazole.

Key Benefits of Septrin 800/160mg

• Treats a Wide Range of Infections: Effective against respiratory infections (such as bronchitis and pneumonia), urinary tract infections (UTIs), gastrointestinal infections (such as traveler’s diarrhea), and certain skin infections.
• Dual Action Formula: The combination of Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim provides a powerful dual action, making it more effective against bacteria resistant to single antibiotics.
• Prevents Infections: Often used as a preventive measure in people with weakened immune systems to guard against infections such as Pneumocystis pneumonia.

How to Use

• Dosage: The typical dosage is one tablet twice daily, taken every 12 hours. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dosage depending on the severity and type of infection. Always follow the specific dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
• Administration: Take the tablet with a full glass of water, and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to help prevent the formation of kidney stones. It can be taken with or without food.
