	Sulfa drug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sulfa drugs are synthetic antimicrobial agents that contain the sulfonamide group.
		In bacteria, sulfa drugs act as competitive inhibitors of para-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA), a substrate of the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase.
		Certain sulfonamides (sulfadiazine or sulfamethoxazole) are sometimes mixed with the drug trimethoprim, which acts against dihydrofolate reductase.

		Concomitant or consecutive administration of sulfa drug-pyrimethamine combinations with trimethoprim or sulfa drug-trimethoprim combinations such as cotrimoxazole may intensify the impairment of folic acid metabolism and related haematological adverse reactions, as well as increasing the risk of severe adverse skin reactions.
