Description

Sulfathiazole is a short-acting sulfonamide with properties similar to those of sulfamethoxazole. It is now rarely used systemically due to its toxicity. Sulfathiazole is used with other sulfonamides, usually sulfabenzamide and sulfacetamide, in preparations for the topical treatment of vaginal infections and is also used with other drugs in the treatment of skin infections. Sulfathiazole sodium has been applied topically with other drugs in the treatment of eye infections. Sulfathiazole interferes with nucleic acid synthesis in microorganisms by blocking the conversion of p-aminobenzoic acid to the coenzyme dihydrofolic acid.It has properties similar to sulfamethoxazole.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Adult: Cream (Sulphathiazole 34.2 mg/g, sulphacetamide 28.6 mg/g, sulphabenzamide 37 mg/g and urea 6.4 mg/g): 5g is applied intra-vaginally bid for 4 to 6 days. Thereafter the dosage may be reduced to one-half or one-quarter.
Route of Administration: Topical
In Vitro Use Guide
25 ug/ml of Sulfathiazole is required for inhibition of in vitro cellulose digestion and volatile fatty acid production by ruminal microorganisms.
