Oriprim Ds 160/800 MG Tablet contains the following active ingredients:

• Sulphamethoxazole (800 mg): It blocks the production of dihydropteroate synthetase, a key enzyme in the bacterial folate synthesis pathway.
• Trimethoprim (160 mg): It prevents the conversion of dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, an essential compound for bacterial DNA synthesis.

Together, these mechanisms halt the growth and spread of bacteria, aiding in the elimination of the infection.

• Store at room temperature (20-25°C) in a dry place away from sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children.

• Eat a balanced diet rich in folate, such as leafy green vegetables, to offset folate deficiency.
• Maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial for those with skin infections. Wash your hands regularly and keep the infected area clean to prevent the infection from spreading.
