| sulfa drug |
A sulfonamide drug used to treat bacterial infections. These drugs inhibit the action of p-aminobenzoic acid, a substance bacteria need in order to reproduce. Sulfa drugs are now used primarily in the treatment of urinary tract infections and ulcerative colitis. In the HIV area, the sulfa drug sulfadiazine is used in combination with pyrimethamine as standard therapy for toxoplasmosis. Trimethoprim is used in combination with another sulfa drug, sulfamethoxazole, against PCP.
