Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to sulfamethoxazole sodium (CAS RN 4563-84-2), Sulfamethoxazole monopotassium (CAS RN 124903-73-7), Sulfamethoxazole pamoate (CAS RN 100345-21-9), and Sulfamethoxazole chloride (CAS RN Not Available). Sulfamethoxazole is indicated in combination with trimethoprim, in various formulations, for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTI) due to susceptible Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, Morganella morganii, Proteus mirabilis and Proteus vulgaris, acute otitis media in pediatric patients due to susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis in adults due to susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenzae, enteritis caused by susceptible Shigella flexneri, Shigella sonnei, and travelers’ diarrhea due to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Sulfamethoxazole has also been used in cases of nocardiosis, and in some other bacterial infections such as otitis media, Chlamydia and Chlamydophila infections, and for prophylaxis of meningococcal meningitis. Additionally, this monograph contains the pediatric ADE (pADE). Sulfamethoxazole is an intermediate-acting sulfonamide derivative indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections and systemic infections caused by susceptible organisms. Sulfamethoxazole, a sulfonamide drug, inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid for binding to dihydrofolate synthetase, an intermediate of tetrahydrofolic acid (THF) synthesis. Inhibition of the THF synthesis inhibits bacterial growth.
