ATC code
Species
Cattle, pigs, dogs and cats.
Indications
Treatment of infections caused by, or associated with, organisms sensitive to the trimethoprim-sulfadiazine combination.
Dose to be administered and administration route
For intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous use.
To ensure a correct dosage, the body weight of animals to be treated should be determined as accurately as possible.
Cattle and pigs:
The recommended dose rate is 2.5 mg trimethoprim / 12.5 mg sulfadiazine per kilogram body weight (1 ml product per 16 kg body weight) by intramuscular or slow intravenous injection, once daily until 2 days after symptoms resolve up to a maximum of 5 days. The maximum intramuscular volume of injection per injection site is 5 ml for pigs and 15 ml in cattle. The veterinary medicinal product may be administered by intravenous injection when blood levels of trimethoprim and sulfadiazine are required more rapidly.
Dogs and cats:
The recommended dose rate is 5 mg trimethoprim / 25 mg sulfadiazine per kilogram body weight (1 ml product per 8 kg body weight), by subcutaneous injection only, once daily until 2 days after symptoms resolve up to a maximum of 5 days The recommended injection site in dogs is the loose skin at the top of the neck.
The closures must not be punctured more than 40 times.
Adverse reactions
Anaphylactic shock (potentially fatal) has been observed on rare occasions (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated) following administration of potentiated sulphonamide preparations, mostly after intravenous injection. For intravenous administration, the product should be warmed to body temperature and injected slowly over as long a period as is reasonably practical. At the first sign of intolerance the injection should be interrupted and shock treatment initiated.
