Uses
    Phthalylsulfathiazole is an intestinal antibacterial agent and is used in the treatment of bacillary dysentery and to reduce the bacterial count in the large bowel in patients undergoing surgery. Like succinylsulfathiazole, this compound is poorly absorbed from the intestinal tract. Because of its low absorption and low toxicity, compared with sulfaguanidine, it is useful in intestinal infections
