Dose to be administered and administration route

For oral use only. The veterinary medicinal product must be diluted in drinking water or milk replacer before administration.

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 tilmicosin may need to be adjusted accordingly.

Pigs:

15-20 mg tilmicosin per kg body weight for 5 days, i.e. 6-8 ml of veterinary medicinal product for 100 kg body weight corresponding to 80 ml of veterinary medicinal product per 100 litres of drinking water for 5 days.

Chickens (broilers and pullets):

15-20 mg tilmicosin per kg body weight for 3 days, i.e. 6-8 ml of veterinary medicinal product for 100 kg body weight corresponding to 30 ml of veterinary medicinal product per 100 litres of drinking water for 3 days.
