sulfadüasiin

Sulfadiazine is a sulfonamide antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of folic acid, an essential nutrient for bacterial growth and reproduction. Sulfadiazine is effective against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is often prescribed for infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract, and skin. It can also be used in combination with pyrimethamine to treat toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection. Sulfadiazine is administered orally or intravenously. Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset, skin rash, and dizziness. More serious adverse reactions, though rare, can include blood disorders and kidney damage. It is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by a healthcare professional to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to minimize the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. Sulfadiazine should be used with caution in individuals with known allergies to sulfonamides or sulfa drugs, as well as in those with severe kidney or liver impairment. Monitoring of kidney function and blood cell counts may be necessary during treatment.
