Pyristat is LDI’s antiprotozoal line, sold as both a tablet and a water-soluble powder for Avian Malaria and Coccidiosis control.
What Is Actually In It
The tablet and the powder are two different formulations with two different combinations. Per tablet, LDI lists 50 mg of Sodium Sulfaquinoxaline, 10 mg of Pyrimethamine Hydrochloride, and 1 mg of Menadione (a vitamin K form used for its clotting role). Per gram of powder, LDI lists 10 mg of Pyrimethamine Hydrochloride, 10 mg of Sodium Sulfamonomethoxine, and 3.5 mg of Vitamin K3. Sulfaquinoxaline, Sulfamonomethoxine and Pyrimethamine are antiprotozoal compounds used against coccidia and avian malaria parasites, not antibiotics in the antibacterial sense. These figures are transcribed exactly as LDI states them, with no conversion or rounding.
What the Label Says It Is For
LDI’s label draws a line between the two formats: the tablet is indicated for control of both Avian Malaria and Coccidiosis, while the powder is indicated for Avian Malaria control only. That distinction is the manufacturer’s own, reproduced above in the fact table. It is not a diagnostic guide for telling the two diseases apart.
Forms It Comes In
Pyristat is sold as a tablet and as a water-soluble powder, each with its own dosing schedule. The dosage box above quotes LDI’s tablet and powder instructions verbatim, including separate powder figures for prevention and for treatment; this body text does not repeat, convert, or adjust any of those figures.
Withdrawal Period
LDI does not publish a withdrawal period for Pyristat. Absence of a published figure is not the same as a zero-day withdrawal, and it is not treated as one here.
What This Page Does Not Tell You
This page transcribes what LDI publishes about Pyristat. It does not tell a reader whether a bird’s symptoms indicate Avian Malaria, Coccidiosis, or something else entirely; the two diseases the label names can present similarly and typically need veterinary or laboratory confirmation to distinguish. Take the bird’s symptoms to a veterinarian, an agrivet, or the local agriculture office before deciding on treatment.
