DOSAGE FOR EACH SPECIES, ROUTE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

Oral administration via drinking water.

To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing or overdosing.

 

Pigs: provide a daily dose of 15-20 mg/kg active substance/ bodyweight for 5 consecutive days.

The amount of the TYLOPLUS 25% solution (ATS) can be calculated based on the Total Body Weight of pigs to be treated (TBW) and the Total Water Consumption of the pigs per 24 hours (TWC) with the following formula:

 

CST (L) = X x GCT (kg) 250 x CAT (L)

per 1000 liters of medicated water in the tank

 

ꭓ = dose / kg b.w.

250 = mg de tilmicosin/ 1 ml Tyloplus 25% oral solution

 

Chickens (broilers): provide a daily dose of 15-20 mg/kg active substance/ bodyweight for 3 consecutive days.

The amount of the TYLOPLUS 25% solution (ATS) can be calculated based on the Total Body Weight of chickens to be treated (TBW) and the Total Water Consumption of the chickens per 24 hours (TWC) with the following formula:

 

CST (L) = X x GCT (kg) 250 x CAT (L)

per 1000 liters of medicated water in the tank

ꭓ = dose / kg b.w.

250 = mg de tilmicosin/ 1 ml Tyloplus 25% oral solution

 

The uptake of medicated water depends on the clinical condition of the animals. In order to obtain the correct dosage, the concentration of tilmicosin should be adjusted accordingly.

 

ADVICE ON CORRECT ADMINISTRATION

The product must be diluted before administration to animals.

Water consumption should be monitored in order to guarantee adequate dosing. In case water consumption does not match quantities for which recommended concentrations were calculated, the concentration of TYLOPLUS 25% has to be adapted in a way that the recommended dosage will be taken up by the animals, otherwise different medication should be considered.

 

WITHDRAWAL PERIODS

Meat and offal:

Chickens (broilers): 12 days.

Pigs: 14 days.

Not authorised for use in laying birds producing eggs for human consumption.

SPECIAL WARNINGS

Special warnings for each target species

The product must be diluted before administration to animals.

Special precautions for use in animals

Use of the product should be based on susceptibility testing of the bacteria isolated from the animal. If this is not possible, therapy should be based on local (regional, farm level) epidemiological information about susceptibility of the isolated bacteria.

Use of the product deviating from the instructions given in the SPC may increase the prevalence of bacteria resistant to tilmicosin and may decrease the effectiveness of treatment with other macrolides due to the potential for cross-resistance.

Medicated drinking water uptake can be affected by the severity of the disease. In case of insufficient water intake, animals should be treated parenterally. In case of insufficient water intake, the treatment should be revised. Medicated drinking water should be prepared fresh every 24 hours.

Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals.

Tilmicosin may induce irritation. Macrolides, such as tilmicosin, may also cause hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or contact with skin or eye. People with known hypersensitivity to the active substance or excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product. Allergic reactions to tilmicosin may be serious.

To avoid exposure during preparation of the medicated drinking water, personal protective equipment consisting of overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves should be used. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling this product. Wash hands after use.

In the case of accidental ingestion, wash out mouth immediately with water and seek medical advice. In the event of accidental skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. In case of accidental eye contact, flush the eyes with plenty of clean, running water.

If you develop symptoms following exposure, such as skin rash, you should seek medical advice and show the physician this warning. Swelling of the face, lips and eyes or difficulty in breathing are more serious symptoms and require urgent medical attention.

Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay

The safety of tilmicosin has not been established during breeding purpose, pregnancy and lactation in animals, therefore use accordingly to the benefit/risk assessment by the responsible veterinarian.

Interaction with other medicaments and other forms of interaction

None known.

Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary

In pigs in case of overdosing, commonly animals exhibit a reduced water intake, that it could, in extreme circumstances, result in dehydration. This can be corrected by the removal of the medicated drinking water and replacement with fresh unmedicated water.

No symptoms of overdose have been seen in chickens given drinking water containing levels of tilmicosin of 5 times the recommended dose.

Incompatibilities

In the absence of compatibility studies, this veterinary medicinal product must not be mixed with other veterinary medicinal products.

 

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR THE DISPOSAL OF UNUSED PRODUCT OR WASTE MATERIALS, IF ANY
