Sulfamethazine sodium (Sulfadimidine sodium) is an antimicrobial that is widely used to treat and prevent various animal diseases (such as gastrointestinal and respiratory tract infections). In China and the European Commission, the maximum residue level for Sulfamethazine sodium in animal product is set at 100 µg/kg.
Sulfamethazine (80 mg/kg; intravenous injection; healthy female pigs) treatment significantly reduces α, β and AUC0->∞, significantly increases t1/2α, Vd and CIB, and upon a single intramuscular administration of 80 mg/kg of Sulfamethazine the absolute bioavailability in pigs is 1.01. Animal Model: 19 healthy female pigs (6-week-old, 4.5-6.2 kg)
