Sulfamethoxazole is an antibiotic of the sulfonamide class, commonly used in combination with trimethoprim to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, bronchitis, and certain types of diarrhea. It acts by inhibiting the bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid. Sulfamethoxazole is generally used in clinical practice today as part of the combination drug cotrimoxazole.
