Tilmicosin Soluble Powder

Indications Tilmicosin has in vitro activity against gram-positive organisms and mycoplasma and is active against certain gram-negative organisms, such as Histophilus somni (Haemophilus somnus), Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica, and Pasteurella multocida. However, M. haemolytica is more sensitive than P. multocida to tilmicosin. Other gram-negative organisms tested, including Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella, and Serratia species, are very resistant to tilmicosin. Some strains of Actinomyces also are extremely resistant to tilmicosin. Pigs: Tilmicosin for medicated feed is indicated in the control of swine respiratory disease associated with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida. Storage Store below 40 °C (104 °F), preferably between 4 and 20 °C (59 and 86 °F). Caution Inhalation, oral exposure, and direct contact with eyes should be avoided.
