Sulmetrim Plus NF is a high-potency injectable solution combining Sulfadiazine and Trimethoprim. This synergistic combination creates a "sequential blockade" of bacterial folate synthesis, making it a primary choice for treating a wide array of respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract infections in cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs.
Key Performance Features
- Synergistic Antibacterial Action: The 5-to-1 ratio of Sulfadiazine to Trimethoprim provides a bactericidal effect that is significantly more powerful than either component used alone.
- Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Highly effective against a vast range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli, Salmonella, Pasteurella, and Streptococcus.
- Excellent Tissue Penetration: Formulated to reach therapeutic concentrations quickly in the lungs, kidneys, and cerebrospinal fluid, making it ideal for systemic infections.
- Rapid Onset of Action: Following injection, peak blood levels are achieved rapidly, providing fast relief from clinical symptoms and fever.
Ideal Applications
- Respiratory Tract Infections: The first line of defense against bacterial pneumonia, shipping fever, and bronchitis in calves and small stock.
- Gastrointestinal Disorders: Highly effective for treating bacterial scours (colibacillosis) and salmonellosis in young and adult livestock.
- Urogenital Infections: Used to manage acute metritis (uterine infection) and cystitis.
- Secondary Bacterial Invaders: Often administered to prevent or treat bacterial complications following viral outbreaks or high-stress periods.
Product Benefits
- Compact 100ml Multidose Vial: Perfect for individual animal treatment or small-scale farming operations where a larger bulk bottle is not required.
- Wide Species Versatility: A single bottle can be used across multiple livestock types, simplifying the farm’s medicine cabinet.
- Proven Stability: The "NF" (New Formula) ensures excellent shelf-life and consistent flow through standard syringing equipment.
Pro Tip: For the best results, Sulmetrim Plus NF should be administered via intramuscular injection. Ensure the full course of treatment is completed (usually 3 to 5 days) even if the animal appears to have recovered after the first dose. This prevents the development of bacterial resistance and ensures the infection is completely eradicated.
