How does Equisul-SDT Oral Suspension (Sulfadiazine/Trimethoprim) 400 mg/ml work?
Equisul-SDT is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial from the potentiated sulfonamide class of chemotherapeutic agents. These two drugs block different sequential steps in the biosynthesis of nucleic acids. Sulfadiazine inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by reversibly inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase. The effect of the dual action is to reduce the minimum inhibitory cencentration of each agent (synergism) and to convert a bacteriostatic action to a bactericidal action.
