BIOTRIM-DS BOLUS
In Stock
BIOTRIM DS BOLUSVET TABLET is a standout product in our VETERINARY MEDICINES & ANTIBIOTIC CARE category. Manufactured by Zenex Animal Health a trusted and respected name in Indian veterinary pharmaceuticals BIOTRIM DS BOLUSVET is a potentiated sulfonamide broad-spectrum oral antibiotic tablet containing Sulfadiazine IP 1000mg and Trimethoprim IP 200mg in a synergistic 5:1 ratio combination. This clinically proven, dual-action antibiotic combination is widely prescribed by veterinarians across India for the treatment of acute, subacute, and chronic bacterial infections in dogs, cats, cattle, horses, and other companion and livestock animals. The extraordinary clinical advantage of the Sulfadiazine + Trimethoprim combination lies in its uniquely powerful mechanism of sequential blockade of bacterial folic acid synthesis a double antibacterial assault at two consecutive enzymatic steps in the same essential metabolic pathway that produces the most synergistic, bactericidal effect possible while simultaneously minimising the development of bacterial antibiotic resistance. With BIOTRIM DS BOLUSVET, you can trust that your beloved furry companion is receiving a clinically proven, pharmaceutical-grade, and veterinarian-trusted antibiotic treatment for their bacterial infection.
Ingredients:
- Sulfadiazine IP 1000mg (Active Ingredient Sulfonamide Antibacterial): The primary antibacterial sulfonamide component of BIOTRIM DS BOLUSVET. Sulfadiazine is a competitive inhibitor of bacterial Dihydropteroate Synthase (DHPS) the enzyme responsible for the first key enzymatic step in bacterial folic acid synthesis, specifically the incorporation of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) into dihydropteroic acid. By competitively occupying the PABA binding site of DHPS, Sulfadiazine prevents bacteria from synthesising their own folic acid an absolute metabolic requirement for bacterial nucleotide synthesis, DNA replication, cell division, and protein production. Without folic acid, susceptible bacteria cannot replicate or survive. Sulfadiazine has excellent bioavailability after oral administration and achieves effective antibacterial concentrations in plasma, most body tissues, and body fluids including the lungs, liver, kidneys, and urinary tract within hours of oral dosing. Its plasma half-life of approximately 10 hours in dogs supports twice-daily dosing for sustained therapeutic coverage.
- Trimethoprim IP 200mg (Active Ingredient Folic Acid Synthesis Inhibitor): The synergistic partner antibiotic component of BIOTRIM DS BOLUSVET. Trimethoprim is a powerful, highly selective inhibitor of bacterial Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR) the enzyme responsible for the second consecutive enzymatic step in bacterial folic acid synthesis, specifically the reduction of dihydrofolate (DHF) to tetrahydrofolate (THF). By blocking DHFR the enzyme immediately downstream of the target blocked by Sulfadiazine Trimethoprim creates the unique, clinically superior mechanism known as Sequential Blockade: a coordinated, two-stage inhibition of the same essential metabolic pathway at two consecutive points simultaneously. This sequential blockade creates an exponentially more powerful antibacterial effect than either drug alone because even if bacteria manage to partially circumvent the DHPS block created by Sulfadiazine, the resulting dihydrofolate cannot be converted to active tetrahydrofolate due to the simultaneous DHFR block imposed by Trimethoprim. The combined result is complete, irreversible collapse of the bacterial folic acid synthesis pathway, complete cessation of DNA replication, and rapid, reliable bacterial cell death in susceptible organisms. A critical clinical advantage of Trimethoprim is its exceptional ability to penetrate into tissues and body compartments that block or exclude most other antibiotics including the prostate gland, the cerebrospinal fluid (blood-brain barrier), the aqueous humor of the eye, abscessed tissue, and other sequestered infection sites. This gives BIOTRIM DS BOLUSVET a uniquely broad and comprehensive tissue penetration profile that makes it effective for infections in anatomically difficult-to-reach locations.
- Pharmaceutical Grade Excipients q.s.: Each BIOTRIM DS BOLUSVET tablet contains carefully selected pharmaceutical-grade binders, fillers, and disintegrants that ensure optimal tablet integrity, appropriate dissolution rate, complete drug release, and excellent gastrointestinal tolerance following oral administration.
