Drug Interactions
Sulphacetamide’s effect can be blocked by substances like PABA and local anaesthetics in the procaine group. In cases where there is pus in the eye, PABA in the discharge can compete with and reduce the effectiveness of sulphacetamide.
Mode of actions
Sulfacetamide works by stopping the growth of many types of bacteria, both gram-positive and gram-negative. It does this by blocking the bacteria from making nucleic acids, which are essential for their survival. Specifically, it prevents the change of a substance called PABA into dihydrofolic acid, which is needed for the bacteria to grow.
