For the treatment of sulfadimethoxine-sensitive bacterial infections in dogs and cats and bacterial enteritis associated with coccidiosis in dogs. Sulfadimethoxine is a white almost tasteless and odorless compound. Chemically it is N1-(2 6-dimethoxy-4-pyrimidinyl) sulfanilamide. Item Specifications: For Use: Dogs and Cats Manufacturer: Pfizer Dosage and Administration: Use as Directed by Your Veterinarian Limitations: Sulfadimethoxine is not effective in viral or rickettsial infections and as with any antibacterial agent occasional failures in therapy may occur due to resistant microorganisms.

The systemic sulfonamides which include sulfadimethoxine are bacteriostatic agents. Sulfonamides competitively inhibit bacterial synthesis of folic acid (pterolyglutamic acid) from para-aminobenzoic acid. Mammalian cells are capable of utilizing folic acid in the presence of sulfonamides. The tissue distribution of sulfadimethoxine as with all sulfonamides is a function of plasma levels degree of plasma protein binding and subsequent passive distribution in the tissues of the lipid-soluble un-ionized form.
