Vetmulin vet.
Active substance
ATC code
Species
Pigs. Chickens (layer hens).
Indications
Pigs:
- Treatment of Swine dysentery caused by Brachyspira hyodysenteriae susceptible to tiamulin. The presence of the disease in the herd must be established before the veterinary medicinal product is used.
- Treatment of Porcine Colonic Spirochaetosis (spirochaetal diarrhoea or colitis) caused by Brachyspira pilosicoli susceptible to tiamulin. The presence of the disease in the herd must be established before the veterinary medicinal product is used.
- Treatment of Porcine Proliferative Enteropathy (ileitis) caused by Lawsonia intracellularis, susceptible to tiamulin. The presence of the disease in the herd must be established before the veterinary medicinal product is used.
- Treatment and metaphylaxis of Enzootic pneumonia caused by
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, including infections complicated by Pasteurella multocida susceptible to tiamulin. The presence of the disease in the herd must be established before the veterinary medicinal product is used.
Chickens (layer hens):
- Treatment and metaphylaxis of Chronic Respiratory Disease caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Airsacculitis and Infectious Synovitis caused by Mycoplasma synoviae susceptible to tiamulin. The presence of the disease in the flock must be established before the veterinary medicinal product is used.
Dose to be administered and administration route
In drinking water use.
Guidance for preparing veterinary medicinal product solutions:
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible. The intake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain the correct dosage, the concentration of tiamulin may need to be adjusted accordingly.
Based on the recommended dose and the number and weight of animals to be treated, the exact daily concentration of the veterinary medicinal product should be calculated according to the following formula:
Use a sufficiently accurate commercially available device to measure the required amount of veterinary medicinal product. Only use clean containers for preparation of the medicated drinking water. Stir the medicated drinking water prepared with the veterinary medicinal product for at least 1 minute after preparation in order to assure homogeneity.
When medicating large volumes of water, prepare a concentrated solution first and then dilute to the required final concentration. The maximum solubility of the veterinary medicinal product is 200 mL/L.
Medicated drinking water should be refreshed or replaced every 24 hours.
In order to avoid interactions between the ionophores and tiamulin, the veterinarian and farmer should check that the feed label does not state that it contains salinomycin, monensin and narasin.
For chickens, in order to avoid interactions between the incompatible ionophores monensin, narasin and salinomycin and tiamulin, the feed mill supplying the birds feed should be notified that tiamulin will be used and that these anticoccidials should not be included in the feed or contaminate the feed.
The feed should be tested for the ionophores prior to use if there is any suspicion that contamination of the feed might occur.
If an interaction does occur, stop tiamulin medication immediately and replace with fresh drinking water. Remove contaminated feed as soon as possible and replace with feed not containing the tiamulin- incompatible ionophores.

The dosage is 8.8 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate /kg body weight (equivalent to 7 ml of veterinary medicinal product/100 kg body weight) administered daily in the drinking water of pigs for 5 consecutive days.
- For the treatment and metaphylaxis of Enzootic Pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae,including infections complicated by Pasteurella multocida susceptible to tiamulin. The dosage is 20 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate/kg body weight (equivalent to 16 ml of veterinary medicinal product/100 kg body weight) administered daily for 5 consecutive days.
Chickens (layer hens)
For the treatment and metaphylaxis of Chronic Respiratory Disease caused by
Mycoplasma gallisepticum and Airsacculitis and Infectious Synovitis caused by
Mycoplasma synoviae. the dosage is 25 mg tiamulin hydrogen fumarate/kg body weight (equivalent to 20 ml of veterinary medicinal product/100 kg body weight) administered daily for the period of 3 to 5 consecutive days.
Adverse reactions
Pigs: On very rare occasions erythema or mild oedema of the skin may occur in pigs following the use of tiamulin.
Chickens (laying hens): none known
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
