Composition

Each 1 ml contains:

• Sulphadiazine Sodium – 435 mg
• Trimethoprim – 80 mg

Pharmacological Properties

Dadprim is a synergistic combination of Sulphadiazine and Trimethoprim. Individually, both act as bacteriostatic agents, but when combined, they exert a bactericidal effect. This synergy makes Dadprim highly effective against a wide range of pathogenic bacteria, including strains resistant to common antimicrobials. It is particularly useful in addressing infections that are hard to treat due to bacterial polyresistance.

Target Species

• Poultry: chickens and turkeys
• Ruminants: calves and lambs

Indications for Use

Dadprim is effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including:

• Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Haemophilus (Coryza), Pasteurella, Clostridium, Corynebacterium, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus.
  It is also effective in the treatment of omphalitis in young animals.

Contraindications

• Do not use in laying hens producing eggs for human consumption.
• Not to be used in animals with severe hepatic or renal impairment.
