Content: 2. Sulfonamides as Antibiotics for UTI
Sulfonamides are inexpensive antibiotics for UTI. They have a bacteriostatic action by inhibition of p-Aminobenzoic acid, necessary for the synthesis of the bacterial folic acid. The most commonly used Sulfonamide drug as an antibiotic for UTI is Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra) which is a combination of Sulfametoxazole and Trimethoprim. This medication is also known as TMP-SMX. With regards to their adverse reactions, sulfonamides can cause gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain; and CNS symptoms like headache, dizziness and insomnia. 3.
