Pack Size: 100 ML Injection

Composition / Active Ingredients

Each ML contains:

Sulphadoxine – 200 mg
Trimethoprim – 40 mg

Vetsfarma promotional material specifically identifies Sulphatrim Inj. LA with this 200 mg + 40 mg per ml combination. 

The combination produces a synergistic antibacterial effect by sequentially blocking bacterial folate metabolism, providing broad-spectrum activity against susceptible organisms.

Clinical Description

Sulphatrim LA is a veterinary long-acting broad-spectrum antibacterial injection combining Sulphadoxine + Trimethoprim. The two antimicrobial agents act at different stages of bacterial folic-acid synthesis, enhancing antibacterial activity compared with either component used alone.

The long-acting formulation is intended to provide sustained antibacterial coverage and is marketed by Vetsfarma for the management of significant bacterial infections in animals. 

Indications / Uses

Sulphatrim LA may be used for susceptible bacterial infections involving the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary and reproductive systems, as well as other systemic bacterial infections where the causative organisms are sensitive to potentiated sulfonamides.

Potential veterinary applications include respiratory tract infections, enteritis/diarrhoea of bacterial origin, urinary tract infections, metritis and other susceptible bacterial infections. Vetsfarma describes the product as a broad antibacterial preparation for difficult infections. 

Dosage & Administration

The accessible sources clearly confirm the formulation but do not provide sufficiently reliable product-specific dosage, route and repeat interval for the current Sulphatrim LA 100 ML pack.

Therefore:

Dosage: As directed by the veterinarian
Route & Frequency: Follow the current Vetsfarma vial/carton or package insert.

Because this is a long-acting antimicrobial formulation, the repeat interval should not be assumed from standard Sulphatrim or other trimethoprim-sulfonamide injections.

Key Benefits

Sulphatrim LA provides broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, combines two antimicrobial agents with a synergistic mechanism of action, and offers a long-acting formulation for sustained antibacterial support. Vetsfarma promotional literature identifies Sulphatrim LA as containing Sulphadoxine 200 mg + Trimethoprim 40 mg/ml. 

Precautions

Use only under veterinary supervision. Ensure adequate hydration during sulfonamide therapy. Use cautiously in animals with renal or hepatic impairment, dehydration or blood disorders.

Avoid unnecessary or inappropriate antibiotic use. Treatment should preferably be based on veterinary diagnosis and, where appropriate, culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Possible Adverse Effects

Potential adverse effects of potentiated sulfonamides may include hypersensitivity reactions, gastrointestinal disturbance, injection-site reactions and renal or urinary complications, particularly in dehydrated animals or with excessive/prolonged treatment.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the vial properly closed and out of reach of children. Follow the exact storage instructions printed on the current Vetsfarma pack.

Withdrawal Period

I could not verify an authoritative milk or meat withdrawal period specifically for Sulphatrim LA Injection 100 ML from the accessible Vetsfarma information.

For food-producing animals, follow the withdrawal period printed on the current Vetsfarma vial/carton or package insert and the prescribing veterinarian's directions.

Important Warning

For veterinary use only. Prescription antibacterial medicine. Sulphatrim LA should be used only for susceptible bacterial infections under veterinary supervision. Inappropriate antibiotic use can contribute to antimicrobial resistance.
