How Trimzole-DS Tablet Works
Trimzole-DS Tablet contains two antibiotics:
- Sulfamethoxazole blocks the formation of dihydrofolic acid, which bacteria need to grow.
- Trimethoprim inhibits the next step in folic acid production by blocking the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase.
By blocking folic acid synthesis at two different stages, the medicine prevents bacteria from multiplying and helps clear the infection.
