Dogs and cats.

• Do not use in dogs with liver and/or kidney damage.
• Do not administer to animals hypersensitive to sulfonamides.
• Do not use on Pinscher dogs.
• Do not administer to pregnant or lactating females.

• The combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim may prolong clotting times in patients medicated with coumarin anticoagulants.
• Antacids may decrease the bioavailability of sulfonamides if administered concurrently.
• Trimethoprim may reduce the therapeutic effects of cyclosporine (systemic) and increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.

Prolonged therapies with potentiated sulfonamides may induce hypothyroidism in dogs. Acute type I (anaphylaxis) or III hypersensitivity reactions may occur. These seem to be more prevalent in large dog breeds, with the Doberman Pinscher being more susceptible than other breeds.
It can also cause Sicca keratitis in dogs.

Keep out of reach of children.

Do not handle by people who are hypersensitive to sulfonamides.
