Description:
The combination of trimethoprim and sulfadiazine acts synergistic and usually bactericidal against many Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria like E. coli, Haemophilus, Pasteurella, Salmonella, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp. Both compounds affect bacterial purine synthesis in a different way, as a result of which a double blockade is accomplished.

Contra-Indications:
Hypersensitivity to trimethoprim and/or sulfonamides. Administration to animals with a seriously impaired renal and/or liver function or with blood dyscrasias.

When symptoms of crystalluria occur (haematuria, kidney colic), treatment has to be stopped immediately and for example sodium carbonate (alkalinises) has to be administered for increasing urine solubility of sulfadiazine.
