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