Treatment Summary

Sulfamethoxazole is an antibiotic that stops bacteria from growing. It is usually combined with trimethoprim, which blocks the production of proteins and nucleic acids essential for bacterial growth. This combination is used to treat infections of the urinary, respiratory, and gastrointestinal tracts.

Effectiveness

How Trimox Affects Patients

Sulfamethoxazole is an antibiotic that works by preventing bacteria from making a specific type of folate, a type of vitamin. It is usually given with trimethoprim, another antibiotic, as the combination works better and takes longer for bacteria to become resistant to it. However, sulfamethoxazole can lead to skin reactions such as rashes, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis, so if any of these occur it should be stopped immediately. Additionally, taking sulfamethoxazole may cause folate deficiency and it should be used cautiously in those at risk.

How Trimox works in the body

Sulfamethoxazole prevents bacteria from making folic acid. It works by mimicking a molecule called para-aminobenzoic acid, which bacteria normally use to make folic acid. By taking its place, sulfamethoxazole blocks the enzyme that converts para-aminobenzoic acid into folic acid. This stops bacteria from making the DNA and other molecules that it needs for growth and reproduction, which prevents the bacteria from spreading.

When to interrupt dosage

The sum of Trimox is dependent upon the diagnosed state, including Urinary tract infection, Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia and Fluid replacement therapy. The quantity of dosage can be determined from the table below, contingent upon the method of administration.

Patient Q&A Section about trimox

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is Trimox prescribed for?

"Trimox is an antibiotic that kills bacteria and is used to treat infections such as tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, gonorrhea, and other infections of the ear, nose, throat, skin, or urinary tract."

Answered by AI

What is Trimox 500 mg used for?

"It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

This antibiotic is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is a penicillin-type antibiotic, which works by stopping the growth of bacteria."

Answered by AI

Is Trimox same as amoxicillin?

"This medication is used to kill bacteria. It belongs to a group of drugs called penicillins. Amoxicillin comes as a capsule, tablet, and liquid suspension. You take it by mouth with or without food."

Answered by AI

What is Amoxicilina used for?

"Amoxicillin is an antibiotic derived from penicillin. It is commonly used to treat bacterial infections of the chest, such as pneumonia, and dental abscesses. It can also be used in conjunction with other antibiotics and medicines to treat stomach ulcers."

Systemic Corticosteroids for Pneumocystis Pneumonia

All Sexes
Montreal, Canada

The HOW LONG trial is an international, multicenter, Phase IV randomized clinical trial evaluating the optimal duration of adjunctive systemic corticosteroids in immunocompromised adults with severe Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) who demonstrate early clinical recovery. Participants who no longer require supplemental oxygen by day 10 of corticosteroid therapy are randomized to discontinue corticosteroids at day 10 (or hospital discharge, if earlier) versus continue corticosteroids for a total of 21 days. The trial assesses whether earlier discontinuation reduces steroid-related complications while maintaining clinical outcomes.

MITI-001 for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

18 - 65
All Sexes
Redwood City, CA

While the pathophysiology of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is complex and heterogeneous, dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is frequently observed, suggesting that a substantial subset of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have symptoms that are initiated and/or perpetuated by a microbiome dysfunction. Successful randomized controlled trials (RCT) for IBS-D (Ford 2018; Black 2022) leveraging microbiome-targeted therapies (antibiotics or low microbiome fermentation diets) suggest the gut microbiome is at least partially involved in IBS symptoms. Furthermore, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for patients with IBS-D has demonstrated promising results (El-Salhy 2020), supporting the possibility that altering the microbiome composition could ameliorate IBS-D symptoms. MITI-001 is a transplantable gut bacterial community composed of 157 live bacterial strains, encompassing 79 genera of commensal bacteria, that have been isolated from healthy donor stool, purified, and banked. The hypothesis of the proposed research is that MITI-001 can target the pathophysiologic lesion in a subset of IBS-D patients, restore the altered microbial metabolic process, and thus alleviate IBS-D symptoms.

Vaccine for E. coli Infections

18 - 49
All Sexes
Baltimore, MD

The study is designed to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the intramuscular administration of a CS6 based vaccine (CssBA) against ETEC co-administered with double mutant labile toxin (dmLT) in preventing moderate-severe diarrhea (MSD) following challenge with ETEC strain B7A in healthy adults. Approximately 72 adult participants, divided into 4 cohorts of 18, will be randomized 1:1 to receive vaccine (45 micrograms CssBA with 0.5 micrograms dmLT) or placebo (normal saline) on an outpatient basis. All participants will receive 3 intramuscular (IM) doses of vaccine or placebo at 3-week intervals (days 1, 22 and 43). Following vaccination, participants will be followed as outpatients for safety using a memory aid from the time of each vaccination through 7 days post each vaccination. Approximately 28 days (plus or minus 1 day) after receipt of the 3rd dose of study agent, participants meeting challenge criteria will be admitted to an inpatient unit and be administered an oral dose of 1 x 10\^10 cfu (colony-forming unit) of ETEC strain B7A. Five days after challenge, participants will be treated with ciprofloxacin, except in cases of known allergy or intolerance. Participants will be discharged from the inpatient unit when they have completed their 3-day antibiotic course and are able to care for themselves. After discharge from the inpatient unit, participants will return for clinic visits and have a phone visit to provide any updates on medication, medical history and AE/SAEs. The primary objectives are: 1) Estimate CssBA+dmLT efficacy in preventing moderate-severe diarrhea (MSD) following challenge with ETEC strain B7A in healthy adults. 2) Evaluate the safety of intramuscular injection of CssBA+dmLT.

Low-Dose Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole for Pneumocystis Pneumonia

18 - 100
All Sexes
Montreal, Canada

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is an opportunistic fungal infection of immunocompromised hosts which causes in significant morbidity and mortality. The current standard of care, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) at a dose of 15-20 mg/kg/day of TMP, is associated with serious adverse events, including hypersensitivity reactions, drug-induced liver injury, cytopenia, and renal failure occurring among 20-60% of patients. The frequency of adverse events increases in a dose dependent manner and commonly limits the use of TMP-SMX. Reduced treatment doses of TMP-SMX for PJP reduced ADEs without mortality differences in a recent meta-analysis of observational studies. We therefore propose a Phase III randomized, placebo-controlled trial to directly compare the efficacy and safety of low dose (10 mg/kg/day of TMP) compared to the standard-of-care (15 mg/kg/day) among patients with PJP for the primary outcome of death, new mechanical ventilation, and change of treatment.
