Sulphamethoxypyridazine Base

Sulphamethoxypyridazine Base is a long-acting sulfonamide antibiotic highly valued in veterinary medicine for its prolonged therapeutic activity and broad-spectrum efficacy. It is active against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, E. coli, Pasteurella, and Salmonella species. Distinguishing itself from other sulfonamides, Sulphamethoxypyridazine exhibits rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract coupled with slow elimination, which allows for effective treatment with less frequent dosing (typically once daily). It is widely used to treat respiratory infections (pneumonia), gastrointestinal tract infections (enteritis), urinary tract infections, and mastitis. Available primarily in oral formulations like tablets, boluses, and suspensions, it offers a convenient and low-stress treatment option for livestock management.
