Sulphachloropyridazine Sodium

Sulphachloropyridazine Sodium

Sulphachloropyridazine Sodium is a fast-acting, broad-spectrum sulfonamide antibiotic and anticoccidial agent highly valued in the poultry and swine industries. It is particularly renowned for its exceptional efficacy against Escherichia coli infections (colibacillosis) and Salmonella, as well as coccidiosis caused by Eimeria species. Being the sodium salt form, it exhibits excellent water solubility, allowing for rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and quick establishment of therapeutic blood levels. This makes it an ideal solution for mass medication via drinking water systems. It is frequently employed to control mixed infections and severe outbreaks of enteritis, helping to reduce mortality and restore flock or herd health.
