Sulfadimethoxine
別名: Albon, Di-Methox, Amtech
**Important Guidelines for Pet Owners:** * **Water is Crucial:** Ensure your pet has access to plenty of fresh drinking water at all times while on this medication. This helps prevent the drug from forming crystals in the kidneys. * **Watch the Eyes:** In dogs, this medication can occasionally decrease tear production, leading to 'dry eye'. Contact your veterinarian if you notice your dog squinting, rubbing their eyes, redness, or a thick yellow/green eye discharge. * **Monitor for Reactions:** Stop the medication and contact your vet immediately if your pet develops a skin rash, unexplained fever, joint stiffness/limping, or severe vomiting. * **Administration:** Can be given with or without food. If your pet vomits after receiving the dose on an empty stomach, try giving future doses with a small meal or treat. * **Pregnancy:** Inform your veterinarian if your pet is pregnant or nursing, as this drug can cross the placenta and enter the milk.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

Use is generally contraindicated in this breed. * **Renal/Hepatic:** Use with extreme caution in patients with diminished renal or hepatic function, or urinary obstruction. * **Hydration:** Maintain adequate hydration and urine flow to prevent crystalluria and renal tubular obstruction. * **Tissue Irritation:** Because solutions are highly alkaline, IM or SC injections can cause significant tissue irritation and necrosis. * **Ruminants:** Oral administration can temporarily depress normal cellulytic function of the ruminoreticulum. * **Pregnancy:** Potentially teratogenic at high doses. Weigh risk vs. benefit. Crosses the placenta and is distributed into milk.
