What does Apple Uniprim Powder for Horses do?
Trimethoprim and sulfadiazine are helpful in horses who require potent systemic antibacterial activity against susceptible organisms. Trimethoprim is effective in blocking the production of tetrahydrofolic acid in bacteria from dihydrofolic acid. It binds to, then reversibly inhibits an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase. Sulfadiazine works to inhibit dihydrofolic acid bacterial synthesis by competing with para-aminobenzoic acid. These two antibiotic ingredients work together to essentially double down on the bacterial metabolism, depriving bacteria of the nucleic acids and proteins required for multiplication and survival. This product is highly antibacterial and often bactericidal.
