The main component, co-trimoxazole, is a combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Pharmacological affiliation of the drug - sulfonamides. Antibiotic active against:
    staphylococci, streptococci, meningococci, gonococci, E. coli, salmonella, cholera vibrio, anthrax pathogen, hemophilic bacillus and other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria;
    Plasmodium and Toxoplasma of the simplest;
    pathogenic fungi of the genus Actinomycetes, Coccidioids, Histoplasm and Leishmania.
The mechanism of action is based on the double inhibition of the vital activity of pathogenic microorganisms. Sulfamethoxazole is similar in structure to a vitamin-like substance (PABA), which the microbe needs for normal growth and reproduction. Therefore, sulfanilamide is incorporated into the bacterial cell and prevents its further growth. Trimethoprim acts on the processes of fermentation and the synthesis of acids and bases needed by microbes, and inhibits their growth and development.

Reviews

Olga
It seems to me that now the Biseptol suspension has become even better to help than before, maybe because it was not prescribed for a long time, the bacteria have lost the habit. I took it from cystitis, the effect manifested itself on the third day of administration. With monural it is not possible to compare, of course, but it still helped well.
