Half-life and Volume of Distribution of Trimethoprim and Sulphadoxine in Sheep and its Relation to Age and Weight

Abstract: Summary Intravenous injection of trimethoprim and sulphadoxine in adult sheep showed average half‐life values of 45 and 670 minutes, respectively. Adminstration of these drugs to lambs indicated slower elimination, with longer half‐lives than in adults. The apparent volume of distribution for both trimethoprim and sulphadoxine is also higher in lambs, especially the younger ones. Both half‐lives and volume of distribution for these two drugs decreases rapidly during the neonatal period. Acetylation of sulphado… Show more

“…The lower elimination rate could be explained by a lower capacity for metabolism and excretion due to immature organs of elimination in the young individual (Baggot, 1994;Baggot & Short, 1984;Vaala, 1985). This has also been shown for TMP and SDZ in several species (Atef et al, 1979;Nielsen & Rasmussen, 1976;Nouws et al, 1983;Shoaf et al, 1989). In the newborn foal however, some metabolic pathways and renal excretion develop within a few days (Baggot, 1994).…”
