Cotrimoxazole, also known as trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, is a fixed-dose combination antibiotic medication. It consists of a mixture of two components: sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, in the proportions of 5 to 1. These components work synergistically to produce a bactericidal or bacteriostatic action against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms as well as some protozoa. Additionally, cotrimoxazole is active against Pneumocystis carinii, a common opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised individuals.
