The mechanism of action of sulfachloroppyrazine is bacteriostatic, based on a competitive-antagonistic relationship with para-aminobenzoic acid (a component of folic acid), as long as its concentration is at least 5,000 times. Sulfonamides are sensitive microorganisms that produce folic acid. Competitive inhibition of para-aminobenzoic acid in the metabolism of bacteria and protozoa.
