About this item
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.
