PHARMACOLOGY ACTIONS Sulfamethoxazole inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid. Trimethoprim blocks the production of tetrahydrofolic acid from dihydrofolic acid by binding to and reversibly inhibiting the required enzyme, dihydrofolate reductase. Thus BACTRIM blocks two consecutive steps in the biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins essential to bacteria. BACTRIM Soma hati kamili
