What is Sulfamethoxazole?

Sulfamethoxazole is a generic antibiotic that stops the growth of bacterial infections. Sulfamethoxazole belongs to a class of wide-spectrum antibiotics called sulfa drugs that prevent bacteria from making folate (vitamin B9). Without folate, bacteria cannot make DNA and are unable to replicate.

Sulfamethoxazole treats or prevents a range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, meningitis, middle ear infections, food poisoning (listeria), E. coli infections, and eye infections (conjunctivitis). Sulfamethoxazole is also used to support other drugs in fighting malaria or toxoplasmosis.

Neither generic Sulfamethoxazole nor its brand-name version, Gantanol, are available in the United States. Sulfamethoxazole combined with trimethoprim (Bactrim), however, is one of the most-prescribed antibiotic drugs.

What are the side effects of Sulfamethoxazole?

The most common side effects of Sulfamethoxazole are stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, lightheadedness, and dizziness. Serious side effects can be severe: lowered red and white blood cell counts, hepatitis (swelling in the liver), convulsions, hallucinations, and depression. Allergic reactions are common and can be potentially severe. They include hives, itching, and rash. The most severe allergic reactions are epidermal necrolysis (blistering and cell death of the skin throughout the body) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (a severe skin reaction throughout the body). The combination of Stevens-Johnson syndrome and epidermal necrolysis has a 50% fatality rate. Consult a physician immediately if you experience a Sulfamethoxazole allergic reaction.
