As an aid in reducing the severity of swine respiratory disease (SRD) associated with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in the presence of the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) in groups of swine in buildings where a respiratory disease outbreak is diagnosed.

Dosage and Administration

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

Important: must be diluted before administration to pigs.

Administer continuously in drinking water for 5 consecutive days at a concentration of 200 mg tilmicosin per litre (80 ml Tilmovet AC per 100 litres of water), which is equivalent to a daily dose of 20 mg tilmicosin per kg of body weight for pigs that are drinking 10% of their body weight.

One 960 mL bottle of Tilmovet AC is sufficient to medicate 1200 litres of drinking water for pigs.

Unused medicated solution should be discarded if not used within 24 hours.
