Sulfadimidine (sulfamethazine) oral tablets, boluses and granules, a veterinary sulfonamide for cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. Intended for licensed animal health importers and wholesalers only, never for human use.

Product Description:

Sulfadimidine, also known as sulfamethazine, is a sulfonamide antibacterial for veterinary use. It blocks bacterial folic acid synthesis by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid, which stops bacteria multiplying rather than killing them. It is also active against coccidia. This page covers oral tablets or boluses for individual animals and granules for mixing into feed or drinking water for groups. The figure of 200-400 mg/kg given here is a dose range by body weight, not a product strength.

It is used under veterinary direction in cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry for susceptible respiratory, digestive and urinary infections and for coccidiosis, usually with a loading dose followed by smaller maintenance doses. Animals need free access to water, as sulfonamides can crystallise in the urinary tract of dehydrated animals. Resistance is widespread, so culture and sensitivity results should guide use. Withdrawal periods before slaughter, and before milk or eggs enter the food chain, are set on each national label, and labels commonly exclude laying birds producing eggs for human consumption. It is for veterinary use only, not for human use.

Sourcing notes. Sulfadimidine is a prescription veterinary medicine in many markets and must be registered with the veterinary authority, usually with residue data supporting the withdrawal periods. Ask for a CoA per batch with assay, dissolution or solubility and impurity results, the veterinary GMP certificate and, where required, a CoPP. Tablets need moisture-proof packs and granules sealed, dry containers. Specify species, presentation, strength per tablet or per gram of granules, and pack size.
