What to Know Before Switching
Before you switch from Trisulfose Suspension to another medicine, here are some important points to keep in mind:
Same salt, different brands:
Most substitutes contain the same active ingredient - SULFAMETHOXAZOLE-200MG/5ML + TRIMETHOPRIM-40MG/5ML, but the fillers, coating, or manufacturing quality may vary slightly.
Consult your doctor first:
Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.
Watch out for allergies or reactions:
Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.
Price ≠ effectiveness:
A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.
Check the dosage form and strength:
Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.
Uses
Medicinal Benefits
Trisulfose Suspension belongs to the group of medicines called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract (bronchitis), ear (otitis media), lungs (pneumonia), skin, brain and toxoplasmosis (infection caused by a bacteria called toxoplasma). Trisulfose Suspension is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Trimethoprim (folic acid inhibitors) and Sulfamethoxazole (sulfonamides). Trimethoprim prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid, and sulfamethoxazole stops the bacteria from making dihydrofolic acid. Tetrahydrofolic acid and dihydrofolic acid are essential for the formation of proteins and nucleic acids, which are necessary for the survival of the bacteria. By inhibiting these, Trisulfose Suspension kills the bacteria and stops their growth. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections. Trisulfose Suspension is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, Haemophilus influenzae, etc.
