Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim is a combination of two antibiotics, sulfamethoxazole (a sulfonamide) and trimethoprim (antifolate). They work together to stop bacteria from being able to make folic acid, a nutrient that's important for bacterial growth and survival. By stopping bacteria from making folic acid, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim kills the bacteria.
