    J.01.E.E.01   Co-trimoxazole [sulfamethoxazole in combination with trimethoprim]

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Biseptol is a combined antibacterial agent containing co-trimoxazole - a mixture in a 5: 1 ratio of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Sulfamethoxazole inhibits the synthesis of folic acid by competitive antagonism with para-aminobenzoic acid, i.e. has a bacteriostatic effect.

    Trimethoprim is an inhibitor of bacterial dihydrofolate reductase. Depending on the conditions, it can exert bactericidal or bacteriostatic action. Thus, trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole block two consecutive stages of purine biosynthesis, and then the nucleic acids required for numerous bacteria.

    Biseptol is a broad-spectrum bactericidal drug that is active against the following microorganisms: Streptococcus spp. (Streptococcus pneumoniae), Staphylococcus spp., Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Escherichia coli (including enterotoxogenic strains). Salmonella spp. (including Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi), Vibrio cholerae, Bacillus anthracis, Haemophilus influenzae (including ampicillin-resistant strains), Listeria spp., Nocardia asteroides, Bordetella pertussis, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Pasteurella spp., Francisella tularensis. Brucella spp., Mycobacterium spp. (incl. Mycobacterium leprae), Citrobacter, Enterobacter spp., Legionella pneumophila, Providencia, some species Pseudomonas (Besides Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Serratia marcescens, Shigella spp., Yersinia spp., Morganella spp., Pneumocystis carinii; Chlamydia spp. (incl. Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia psittaci); protozoa: Plasmodium spp., Toxoplasma gondii, pathogenic fungi: Actinomyces israelii, Coccidioides immitis, Histoplasma capsulatum, Leishmania spp.

    Resistant to the drug: Corynebacterium spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Treponema spp., Leptospira spp., viruses.
    Pharmacokinetics:The maximum concentration of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, determined after one hour, is higher and is achieved more quickly with intravenous administration, compared with the concentration obtained when taking the drug inside. Significant differences in plasma concentration, half-life and elimination after administration of co-trimoxazole in oral and intravenous form have not been established. Trimethoprim is a weak alkali (pKa = 7.3) with lipophilic properties. The concentration of trimethoprim in tissues is higher than the concentration determined in plasma, especially high in the lungs and kidneys. Higher concentrations of trimethoprim in comparison with plasma are observed in bile, fluid and tissues of the prostate gland, sputum, vaginal discharge.Concentrations of trimethoprim in breast milk, cerebrospinal fluid, the secretion of the middle ear, synovial fluid, intracellular fluid (interstitial) correspond to the concentrations necessary for antibacterial action. Trimethoprim penetrates the amniotic fluid and fetal tissues, reaching a concentration there close to the concentration observed in the mother's blood serum.

    Approximately 50% of trimethoprim binds to plasma proteins. The half-life in persons with normal renal function is 8.6 to 17 hours. There were no significant differences in the elderly compared with young patients.

    Trimethoprim is excreted mainly by the kidneys - approximately 50% unchanged for 24 hours with urine. Several metabolites of trimethoprim have been identified in the urine.

    Sulfamethoxazole is a weak acid with pKa = 6.0. The concentration of the active form of sulfamethoxazole in the amniotic fluid, bile, cerebrospinal fluid, the secretion of the middle ear, sputum, synovial fluid, intracellular of the liquid is 20 to 50% of the sulfamethoxazole present in the plasma.

    Approximately 66% of sulfamethoxazole binds to plasma proteins. Period

    elimination half-life in individuals with normal renal function is 9 to 11 hours. In subjects with impaired renal function values ​​change in half-life of the active form of sulfamethoxazole not set, but the elongation is observed half-life of the main acetylated metabolite if the creatinine clearance less than 25 mL / min.

    Sulfamethoxazole is excreted primarily by the kidneys, from 15 to 30% of the administered dose is found in the urine in the active form. In elderly patients, there is a decrease in renal clearance of sulfamethoxazole.

    Treatment: In case of side effects, immediately discontinue the drug. Introduction of liquid, correction of electrolyte disturbances. If necessary, hemodialysis.
    Interaction:

    Co-trimoxazole is compatible with the following preparations: 5% dextrose for intravenous infusions, 0.9% sodium chloride for intravenous infusions, a mixture of 0.18% sodium chloride and 4% dextrose for intravenous infusions, 6% dextran 70 for IV infusions in 5% dextrose or in physiological saline, 10 % dextran 40 for intravenous infusions at 5 % dextrose or saline solution, Ringer's solution for injection.

    In elderly patients, biseptol in combination with diuretics, in particular thiazide diuretics, increases the risk of thrombocytopenia. Simultaneous use with cyclosporine reduces its concentration in the blood.

    Do not administer the drug intravenously in combination with drugs and solutions containing bicarbonates.

    Increases the anticoagulant activity of indirect anticoagulants, enhances the effect of hypoglycemic agents and methotrexate. Reduces the intensity of hepatic metabolism of phenytoin (prolongs its T1 / 2 by 39%) and warfarin, enhancing their effect.When co-trimoxazole and rifampicin are used concomitantly, the half-life of trimethoprim is reduced within a week.

    Patients taking prophylactic pyrimethamine (antimalarial drug) in doses exceeding 25 mg / week, in the treatment with co-trimoxazole, cases of megaloblastic anemia development have been noted. It is not recommended to use combination therapy of this type.

    With the simultaneous use of co-trimoxazole and zidovudine, the risk of developing hematologic disorders increases, and blood tests should therefore be performed.Increases serum concentrations of digoxin, especially in elderly patients (the control of digoxin concentrations in serum is necessary).

    Reduce the therapeutic effect of co-trimoxazole benzocaine, procaine, procainamide and other medicines, as a result of the hydrolysis of which PABC is formed.

    Between diuretics (thiazides, furosemide and others) and oral hypoglycemic drugs (sulfonylureas derivatives) on the one hand and antimicrobial sulfonamides on the other - it is possible to develop a cross-allergic reaction. Phenytoin, barbiturates, PASC increase manifestations of folic acid deficiency.

    In patients taking cyclosporins (for example, after kidney transplantation) in the treatment with co-trimoxazole, transient impairment of renal function was observed.

    With the simultaneous use of co-trimoxazole and procainamide or amantadine, an increase in the serum concentration of the listed drugs may occur.

    The derivatives of salicylic acid enhance the action of co-trimoxazole.

    Ascorbic acid, hexamethylenetetramine and other drugs, acidifying urine, increase the risk of developing crystalluria.

    Co-trimoxazole reduces the reliability of oral contraception (inhibits the intestinal microflora and reduces the intestinal hepatic circulation of hormonal compounds).

    Special instructions:

    During the use of the drug should maintain proper diuresis. In depleted patients, the risk of sulfonamide crystals is increased.

    In the case of long-term administration of the drug, regular laboratory blood tests are recommended, since there is a possibility of hematological changes associated with a deficiency of folic acid.

    After using the drug, diarrhea may appear, which may be a symptom of pseudomembranous colitis. It is necessary to stop the use of the drug and to cancel the anti-diarrheal remedies.

    Do not use Biseptol 480 in the treatment of pharyngitis caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococci.

    Caution should be exercised in patients using other medications that can cause hyperkalemia, including potassium-sparing diuretics.

    It is recommended to monitor the potassium concentration in the serum, given the risk of increasing its concentration (hyperkalemia).

    In case of the appearance of the first symptoms of skin rash, stop using the drug.

    Given the content of benzyl alcohol in the preparation Biseptol 480 (15 mg benzyl alcohol in 1 ml solution), the drug should not be used in preterm and infants. Benzyl alcohol can cause intoxication and anaphylactoid reactions in infants and children up to 3 years of age.
