Indications

Dose to be administered and administration route
For intramuscular use.
To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing
For the treatment of clinical swine dysentery:
8.1 mg tiamulin base per kg bodyweight (equivalent to 1 ml per 20 kg bodyweight) to be administered in a single treatment followed by tiamulin in the water or feed.
For the treatment of enzootic pneumonia or mycoplasmal arthritis:
12.1 mg tiamulin base per kg bodyweight (equivalent to 1.5 ml/20 kg bodyweight) daily for 3 consecutive days.
Depending on the severity of disease it may be necessary to continue treatment by orally administered tiamulin until 2 days after signs of disease have subsided
The closures should not be broached more than 5 times. In order to prevent excessive broaching of the stopper, a suitable multiple dosing device should be used.
Adverse reactions
In rare cases, hypersensitivity to tiamulin is reported in terms of acute dermatitis with cutaneous erythema and intense pruritus. The adverse reactions are usually mild and transient but in very rare cases may be serious. Symptomatic treatment such as electrolyte therapy and an antiinflammatory therapy may be useful.
