Broad spectrum antibacterial that controls both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
Cosumix Plus® has a dual mode of bacterial inhibition of both sulfachloropyridazine and trimethoprim reducing the rate of antibacterial resistance and is a useful tool for cost effective medication programs.
Cosumix Plus is a highly effective combination antibacterial with potent activity against:
- E. coli – Colibacillosis and salpingitis
- Salmonella spp. – Paratyphoid infection
- S. aureus – Staphylococcal infections
- P. multocida – Fowl cholera
- H. paragallinarum – Infectious coryza
- Rapid absorption of both active substances – peak serum levels within two hours, which ensures rapid onset of treatment.
- Blood levels run in parallel to give maximum synergistic activity during therapy.
- Improved solubility and tolerance of sulfachloropyridazine reduces the risk of side effects, e.g. nephro-toxicity commonly associated with other sulphonamides.
