This bolus may be divided for better approximation of correct dose; however, care should be taken not to crush the bolus. Care should also be taken to ensure the entire dose has been swallowed by the animal. Observe animals following administration to ensure boluses are not regurgitated. Lubricate bolus before dosing animals.
Supra Sulfa®III Boluses are designed to provide a therapeutic sulfamethazine level in approximately 6 hours, and persist in providing this level of 72 hours (3 days). After 72 hours, all animals should be reexamined for persistence of observable disease signs. If signs are present, consult a veterinarian. It is strongly recommended that a second dose be given to provide for an additional 72 hours of therapy particularly in those more severe cases. The dosage schedule should be used at each 72-hour interval.
