See Why Others Recommend EQUISUL-SDT®
Veterinary experts like Scott Hay, DVM, recommend EQUISUL-SDT® for its efficacy and convenience, as well as other key benefits.
“When antibiotics are indicated for healing and abating the disease – and sensitivities confirm sulfa therapy – we commonly reach for EQUISUL-SDT® (sulfadiazine/trimethoprim),” Scott Hay a DVM in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, said. “The product is convenient and efficacious. We especially like it because trainers don’t have a problem administering the product, which is a huge benefit to know the horse is getting the full length and dose of prescribed therapy. Compliance is key! Being an FDA-approved antibiotic is also a welcomed advantage.”
