Ivtrim Inj 5Ml 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). Ivtrim Inj 5Ml 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, Ivtrim Inj 5Ml kills the bacteria and stops their growth. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections. Ivtrim Inj 5Ml is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
