Precaution:
Have only medicated water available during treatment, and check carefully to insure adequate drug dosage
and water intake. Cattle and calves not drinking or eating must be dosed by drench or with Sulmet Oblets. For best results,
treat sick animals individually.
For control of outbreaks of disease, medication should be initiated as soon as the diagnosis is determined.
Medicated cattle, swine, chickens and turkeys must actually consume enough medicated water which provides the
recommended dosages.
Sulmet works fast. If symptoms persist after using this preparation for 2 or 3 days, consult your veterinarian. Excessive
dosage may cause toxic reactions. Follow dosage and administration instructions carefully. Hatchability of eggs laid
during medication with sulfas, and for short periods thereafter, may be adversely affected.
Treatment of all diseases should be instituted early. Treatment should continue 24 to 48 hours beyond the remission
of disease symptoms, but not to exceed a total of 5 consecutive days in cattle or swine.
Residue Warnings:
Do not medicate chickens or turkeys producing eggs for human consumption. To avoid drug
residues in edible flesh withdraw medication from chickens and turkeys ten (10) days prior to slaughter for food.
Treated cattle must not be slaughtered for at least ten (10) days after the last dose. Exceeding five (5) consecutive
days of treatment may cause violative tissue residue to remain beyond the withdrawal time. Do not use in calves
under one (1) month of age or calves being fed an all-milk diet. Use in these classes of calves may cause violative
residues to remain beyond the withdrawal time. Do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older. Use of
sulfamethazine in this class of cattle may cause milk residues.
Withdraw medication from swine fifteen (15) days prior to slaughter for food.
