Boiling point: 796.05°C (rough estimate)

Density: 1.1424 (rough estimate)

1. Pharmacological action

Tylosin has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins and interfering with bacterial growth and reproduction.

It is effective against Gram-positive bacteria (such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus) and some Gram-negative bacteria (such as Escherichia coli) and mycoplasma infections.

2. Indications

Respiratory tract infections: Effective treatment of upper and lower respiratory tract infections caused by bacteria, such as porcine mycoplasma pneumonia.

Digestive tract infections: Can be used to treat intestinal infections caused by bacteria, including enteritis and diarrhea.

Reproductive tract infections: Used to treat certain bacterial infections of the reproductive system.

3. Administration

Tylosin can be administered through drinking water, feed or injection. The specific usage should be adjusted according to the guidance of the veterinarian.

The recommended dosage and course of treatment should be followed to ensure efficacy and safety.

4. Precautions

Allergic reactions: Some animals may be allergic to tylosin. The health status of the animal should be confirmed before use.

Withdrawal period: In animals using tylosin, the prescribed withdrawal period should be followed to avoid the impact of drug residues on human health.

Pregnancy and lactation: Pregnant and lactating animals should be used with caution and follow the advice of veterinarians.

Summary

The wide application of tylosin provides veterinarians with effective antimicrobial treatment options, helping to reduce the incidence of animal diseases and improve breeding efficiency. When using, the guidance of veterinarians should be strictly followed to ensure safe and effective medication.
