- Background
Sulfadimethoxine is a sulfonamide antibiotic. Sulfadimethoxine is used to treat many infections including treatment of respiratory, urinary tract, enteric, and soft tissue infections. It is most frequently used in veterinary medicine, although it is approved in some countries for use in humans. Sulfadimethoxine inhibits bacterial synthesis of folic acid (pteroylglutamic acid) from para-aminobenzoic acid. Sulfadimethoxine is approved in Russia for use in humans, including children, and has been successfully used there for more than 35 years. It is widely available in Russia as an over-the-counter drug manufactured by a number of Russian pharmaceutical companies.

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAcarbose The therapeutic efficacy of Acarbose can be increased when used in combination with Sulfadimethoxine. Acetohexamide The therapeutic efficacy of Acetohexamide can be increased when used in combination with Sulfadimethoxine. Albiglutide The therapeutic efficacy of Albiglutide can be increased when used in combination with Sulfadimethoxine. Alogliptin The therapeutic efficacy of Alogliptin can be increased when used in combination with Sulfadimethoxine. Benzylpenicillin Sulfadimethoxine may decrease the excretion rate of Benzylpenicillin which could result in a higher serum level. Bromocriptine The therapeutic efficacy of Bromocriptine can be increased when used in combination with Sulfadimethoxine. Canagliflozin The therapeutic efficacy of Canagliflozin can be increased when used in combination with Sulfadimethoxine. Chlorpropamide The therapeutic efficacy of Chlorpropamide can be increased when used in combination with Sulfadimethoxine. Cholestyramine Cholestyramine can cause a decrease in the absorption of Sulfadimethoxine resulting in a reduced serum concentration and potentially a decrease in efficacy. Colesevelam Colesevelam can cause a decrease in the absorption of Sulfadimethoxine resulting in a reduced serum concentration and potentially a decrease in efficacy.
