Uniprim Powder for Horses
DESCRIPTION: Uniprim Powder is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that treats a variety of equine conditions, including wounds, respiratory infection, and uterine infection. It uses Trimethoprim and Sulfadiazine to combat dangerous bacteria effectively. Key Benefits: Uniprim combines Trimethoprim with Sulfadiazine. Together, these ingredients benefit horses who need powerful, systemic antibacterial action to treat susceptible infections. Sulfadiazine inhibits the synthesis of dihydrofolic acid bacteria because it competes against para-aminobenzoic acid. Trimethoprim blocks bacterial tetrahydrofolic acid production from dihydrofolic acid. It reversibly inhibits and binds to dihydrofolate reductase, an enzyme. Together, these antibiotics are effective against bacterial metabolism. They team up to deprive bacteria of the nucleic acids and proteins they need to multiply and survive. Uniprim is incredibly antibacterial and often bactericidal. Formulated For: Intended for horses only. How is Medication Given? Horses should have constant access to water while taking this product. Typical recommended treatment duration is once daily for a 5-to-10-day period. Dosing recommendations are 3.75 grams for every 110 pounds of body weight (1 teaspoon for every 100 pounds) daily. Orally administer by combining with a small portion of feed. A single packet (37.5 grams) is enough to treat a horse weighing 1100 pounds for one day.
