Directions For Use

To reduce the development of antimicrobial resistance and maintain effectiveness, use this antibiotic prudently.

Add the contents of this jar to 1136 litres (250 Imp. Gal.) of drinking water (provides 49 mg antibiotic activity per litre). Administer at this dosage as the sole source of drinking water for 5 days.

Preparation of medicated solutions:

Pour the contents of a Tiamulin Soluble Powder jar into a suitable clean container. Do not use old galvanized or corroded containers as they may compromise the efficacy of this product.

Add approximately 4 L of drinking water.

Stir thoroughly until the powder is dissolved.

Add this solution to the required quantity of drinking water or make up to the correct volume for the stock solution for automatic medicators.

Notes:

Prepare fresh medicated water every day.

Water medicated with Tiamulin Soluble Powder should be the only source of drinking water during the treatment period.

During treatment, swine should be housed under conditions of adequate space and sanitation.

CONTRAINDICATION:

Swine being medicated with Tiamulin Soluble Powder should not have access to or be treated with incompatible polyether ionophores (e.g. monensin, salinomycin, narasin).

CAUTIONS:

For use in the drinking water of swine only. This drug should not be administered to sows during 4 weeks after service.

If no response is obtained within 5 days, re-establish the diagnosis. Failure of response may be related to the presence of non-susceptible organisms or other complicating disease conditions.

Direct contact with skin or mucous membranes during mixing may cause irritation. When handling the product, avoid inhalation, oral exposure and direct contact with skin or eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

Adverse Reactions

Overdoses of tiamulin have sometimes produced transitory salivation, vomiting and an apparent calming effect on pigs.

In rare cases, redness of the skin, primarily over the ham and underline, has been observed during medication.
