Trimediazine 15 should not be administered to animals with known sulphonamide hypersensitivity.

Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
Data on the exact level below which no effects on foetal development were observed are not available. However extensive use of the product in different species over many years has not shown adverse effects on the foetus. It is concluded that this product can be used safely in pregnant animals at the recommended dose rates.
When administered to lactating females, small amounts of trimethoprim and sulfadiazine are present in the maternal milk. Since no studies have been reported of the effects on the development of new born young of the ingestion of this milk, it would be prudent not to feed very young animals with milk obtained from the mother.
