Co-trimoxazole
Sulfonamides for oral administration are:
Sulfaguanidine
Mechanism of action of sulfonamide is:
they are synthetic analogues of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and complete with it for the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase
they increase the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane
they inhibit bacterial wall synthesis
they inhibit the synthesis of bacterial dihydrofolic acid
For non-combined sulfanamides is true:
have broad antibacteriai spectrum
have narrow antibacterial spectrum
they are bactericidal
they are bacteriostatic
Co-trimoxazole:
contains trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole
contains sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine
has bactericidal effect
is taken every 12 hours
Fansidar:

mains sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine
Combined sulfonamides are:
