Klotrim 5Ml Inj 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). Klotrim 5Ml Inj 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 in the bacterial cell, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. By inhibiting these, Klotrim 5Ml Inj kills the bacteria and stops their growth. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections. Klotrim 5Ml Inj is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Klotrim 5Ml Inj is administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer.
