title: [Pharmacokinetic findings following the oral application of granulated Mebacid in cattle, calves and sheep].
abstract: The pharmacokinetic properties of sulphamerazine, following oral application of granulated Mebacid to cattle, calf, and sheep, were compared with results obtained from the use of Mebacid tablets. Elimination half-life was higher in cattle, calf, and sheep, following oral application of Mebacid tablets. Different pharmacokinetic properties of sulphamerazine were found to exist between the two modes of preparation. Sulphonamide was eliminated more rapidly by cattle, calf, and sheep, when granulated Mebacid was used. When granulate is used, higher sulphamerazine doses have to be applied to calf and sheep to obtain the sulphonamide levels required for effective therapy. No intolerance was recorded from the above species, following oral application of granulated Mebacid.
