How Albon (Sulfadimethoxine) 5% Oral Suspension Works
Albon works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria. Sulfadimethoxine, the active ingredient, is a sulfonamide that interferes with the production of folic acid within bacterial cells, which is essential for their growth.
This interruption in the bacteria's metabolic pathway effectively stops the infection from spreading, allowing your pet’s immune system to combat the remaining bacteria.
