Sulgin Avexima, tablets 500 mg 10 pcs

Pharmacodynamics

Antimicrobial bacteriostatic agent. Mechanism of action is due to antagonism with paraaminobenzoic acid (PABA) and competitive inhibition of dihydropteroatsinthetase, which leads to disruption of tetrahydrofolic acid synthesis, necessary for purine and pyrimidine synthesis.

It inhibits the growth of E. coli and reduces the synthesis of thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid in the intestine. SULGIN has bacteriostatic effect on Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Proteus vulgaris.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, the drug is slightly absorbed from the digestive tract, resulting in high bacteriostatic concentration in the intestine.

Interaction

Decreases the reliability of oral contraception.

Benzocaine, procaine reduce antimicrobial activity (during hydrolysis they release PABA).

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hypoglycemic drugs (sulfonylurea derivatives), phenytoin and indirect anticoagulants increase the severity of the side effects of the drug.

Ascorbic acid, hexamethylantetramine increase the risk of crystalluria.

Myelotoxic drugs increase the manifestation of hematotoxicity of the drug.
