COMPOSITION :
Each 1 ml contains :
Tilmicosin Phosphate ……………………………………… 280 mg

INDICATIONS:
Tilmicosin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic of the macrolide group and is believed to affect protein synthesis.
It has bacteriostatic action but at high concentrations it may be bactericidal.
This antibacterial activity is predominantly against Gram-positive microorganism with activity against certain gram-negative ones and Mycoplasma of a bovine, porcine, ovine and avian origin. In particular, its activity has been demonstrated against the following microorganism:
Chickens: For the treatment and prevention of respiratory disease in chicken flocks, associated with Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. Synoviae
Turkeys: For the treatment and prevention of respiratory disease in turkey flocks, associated with Mycoplasma gallisepticum and M. synoviae
Calves: For the treatment and prevention of bovine respiratory disease, associated with Mannheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Mycoplasma bovis, M. dispar and other organisms susceptible to tilmicosin.
