SCOUR HALT ANTI-DIARRHETIC BOLUS
For Oral Administration

COMPOSITION:
Each Bolus contains:
Sulphadiazine …………………………………………………. 1000 mg

INDICATIONS:
Sulphaprim Boluses are primarily indicated for oral use for the treatment of bacterial scours but may also be used for the treatment of acute salmonellosis and bacterial pneumonia.
Together the active ingredients produce a double blockage of folic acid synthesis in bacteria, giving a level of activity many times greater than that obtained from either drug alone.

Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp, Pasteurella spp, Salmonella spp, and Staphylococcus spp,
The boluses are particularly effective against Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp infections.
