Uses of Sepmax DS
Treatment of Bacterial infections
Benefits of Sepmax DS

- In Skin infection
- Sepmax DS treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
- In Dental infection
- Sepmax DS treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.
How Sepmax DS works
Sepmax DS Tablet is a combination of two antibiotics: Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim. These antibiotics work by preventing the bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. Together, they treat your infection effectively.
