Sulfonamides Flashcards
What do Sulfs do?
They work as PABA agonists to interfere in the synthesis of FA

PHARM.KINETICS
Oral vs Parenteral
Oral: Great absorption but decreased absorption with enteric ones delayed absorption in ruminants
Parenteral: IM and SQ with buffered solution to prevent extravasation. Well absorbed
Distribution
Wide
Gets in all the fluids but in milk, low concentration so not good for treating mastitis.
