Sulfadimidine sodium, a short-acting sulfonamide antibacterial in sodium salt form, inhibits bacterial folic acid synthesis to combat Gram-positive/negative bacteria like Streptococcus and E. coli, though resistance is prevalent. Mainly used in veterinary medicine for livestock/poultry infections (respiratory, intestinal, urinary tract), it's administered IM at 0.05-0.1g/kg twice daily, requiring dissolution before use. Key precautions include alkalizing urine with sodium bicarbonate to prevent crystaluria, monitoring blood/urine, and observing withdrawal periods (e.g., 28 days for pigs), while its clinical use has decreased due to side effects and replacement by fluoroquinolones/cephalosporins.
1. Basic Information
Also known as sulfadimidine sodium, it belongs to short-acting sulfonamides. Its high water solubility makes it suitable for injectable formulations.
Active against Gram-positive bacteria (e.g., Streptococcus, Pneumococcus) and Gram-negative bacteria (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, Pasteurella), though resistance is common.
The sodium salt form ensures rapid absorption after injection, ideal for acute infections requiring quick action.
3. Indications (Mainly Veterinary, by prescription)
Treats sensitive bacterial infections in livestock and poultry, such as:
Respiratory infections (pneumonia, bronchitis in pigs, cattle, sheep);
Contraindications: Contraindicated in sulfonamide-allergic animals; use with caution in young animals or those with renal insufficiency.
6. Precautions
Ensure animals drink adequately to prevent crystaluria;
Co-administer with sodium bicarbonate to alkalize urine;
Monitor blood and urine tests regularly;
Adhere to withdrawal periods for food-producing animals (e.g., 28 days for pigs) to avoid residue.
7. Drug Interactions
Concurrent use with vitamin C may acidify urine, increasing crystaluria risk;
Combination with trimethoprim (TMP) enhances antibacterial efficacy.
