Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole both block the production of folic acid, a necessary chemical for both bacteria and humans, and each is an effective antibiotic when used alone.

Sulfamethoxazole is an anti- bacterial sulfonamide. It prevents the formation of dihydrofolic acid, a compound that bacteria must be able to make in order to survive. Although it was once a very useful antibiotic, it is almost obsolete as a single agent today due to the development of bacterial resistance to its effects. Sulfamethoxazole is now used primarily in combination with  trimethoprim,

Trimethoprim is a synthetic (man-made) antibiotic that interferes with the production of tetrahydrofolic acid, a chemical that is necessary in order for bacteria and human cells to produce proteins. Trimethoprim inhibits production of tetrahydrofolic acid by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for making tetrahydrofolic acid from dihydrofolic acid. Trimethoprim inhibits the bacterial enzyme more than the corresponding human enzyme. Therefore, trimethoprim has less effect on the production of tetrahydrofolic acid by humans. Trimethoprim is effective against a wide variety of bacteria.

Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole are used for urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, middle ear infections, for prevention of infections due to pneumococcus in transplant recipients, for the treatment or prevention of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, chancroid, and prevention of toxoplasma encephalitis in patients with AIDS.
Trimethoprim is used for the treatment of urinary tract infections , traveler's diarrhea, respiratory and middle ear infections, and, when combined with either sulfamethoxazole or dapsone, for prevention and treatment of Pneumocystis infections.

Side Effects
The most common side effects associated with trimethoprim are gastrointestinal. They include loss of appetite, nausea,  vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, abnormal taste, and swelling of the tongue. Taking trimethoprim with food may reduce some of these side effects.
