Product Description:

Co-trimoxazole 480 mg tablets combine sulfamethoxazole 400 mg and trimethoprim 80 mg. Both block bacterial folate production at two steps in a row: the sulfonamide stops dihydrofolic acid formation and trimethoprim inhibits dihydrofolate reductase. The pair acts on many Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms and on Pneumocystis jirovecii. The 480 mg tablet is the standard adult strength, with 960 mg forte, dispersible and suspension forms for other needs. It is on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines.

Uses include urinary tract infections, sensitive chest infections, Pneumocystis pneumonia treatment and prophylaxis, toxoplasmosis and nocardiosis. WHO guidance supports daily co-trimoxazole preventive therapy for many people living with HIV, so these tablets are steady tender items. Local resistance limits empirical use in places. Watch for serious skin reactions, blood disorders, hyperkalaemia and G6PD deficiency. It interacts with warfarin, methotrexate, phenytoin and potassium-raising drugs, and is avoided in the first weeks of life.

Sourcing notes. Co-trimoxazole is prescription-only in most markets and features on essential medicine and HIV programme tenders. Expect a CTD or ACTD dossier; donor-funded tenders may also require WHO prequalification or approval by a stringent regulator. Tablets come in blisters or bulk bottles for hospital dispensing and need protection from light and moisture, with zone IVb data for tropical markets. Ask for a CoA per batch with assay of both actives and dissolution, plus GMP and CoPP. State strength, scoring, pack type and count.
