Septran Paediatric Suspension contains two active ingredients: sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim. These active ingredients interfere with the metabolic processes of bacteria, leading to their death.

• Sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim work together to inhibit the production of folic acid in bacteria.
• The inhibition of folic acid production disrupts essential processes within bacteria, ultimately preventing them from growing and multiplying.
• This helps in curing bacterial infections by stopping their growth.
• Sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim specifically target bacterial cells without affecting healthy human cells.
• The combination of sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim provides a synergistic effect, enhancing their antimicrobial activity against bacteria.
