• staphylococci;
• streptococci;
• shigella;
• on other bacteria of the simplest type - Coccidia and Toxoplasma gondi.

In terms of structure, sulfamonomethoxin has similar properties with the structure of para-aminobenzoic acid. It causes a disruption in the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid in cells of the bacterial type, as a result of which it leads to the prevention of the entry of para-aminobenzoic acid into the molecule of the bacterial cell.

The second active ingredient, trimethoprim, causes an increase in the influence of sulfamonomethoxin, which ultimately causes a violation of the reduction of dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid.

During the combined action, there is violation of the synthesis of folic acid in two successive stages.
