개요Like sulfisoxazole, this drug is effective in treating infections caused by streptococci, gonococci, pneumococci, staphylococci as well as colon bacillus. Unlike sulfisoxazole, only about 70% of it binds with proteins in the plasma after oral administration, and it diffuses mostly to tissues and tissue fluids. However, since it is removed much slower than sulfisoxazole, it does not require frequent administration and is also the drug of choice for many systemic infections. Moreover, it is an ingredient of a combined drug named bactrim, biseptol, and so on (which will be examined later on), which has a fixed correlation with trimethoprim. Synonyms of this drug are gantanol, sinomin, sulfisomezole, and others.

일반 설명Sulfamethoxazole’s plasma half-life is 11 hours. Sulfamethoxazole is a sulfonamide drug closely relatedto sulfisoxazole in chemical structure and antimicrobial activity.It occurs as a tasteless, odorless, almost white crystallinepowder. The solubility of sulfamethoxazole in the pHrange of 5.5 to 7.4 is slightly lower than that of sulfisoxazole but higher than that of sulfadiazine, sulfamerazine, or sulfamethazine.Following oral administration, sulfamethoxazole is notabsorbed as completely or as rapidly as sulfisoxazole, andits peak blood level is only about 50% as high.
