The components of Septran Tablet are as follows:

• Sulfamethoxazole (400 mg): It prevents bacteria from making something called "dihydrofolic acid," which is another important ingredient for building proteins and DNA in bacteria. When bacteria can't make dihydrofolic acid because of sulfamethoxazole, they struggle to grow and survive. So, Sulfamethoxazole helps to treat bacterial infections.
• Trimethoprim (80 mg): It stops bacteria from making tetrahydrofolic acid, a key ingredient for building proteins and DNA that bacteria need to survive and grow. When Trimethoprim is around, bacteria can't make this key ingredient, making it hard for them to grow and survive. This is how it helps to treat bacterial infections.
