Tylosin tartrate 100 mg

Indications

Treats shipping fever, pneumonia, foot rot, calf diphtheria, metritis in beef cattle and non-lactating dairy cattle. Treats mycoplasmal swine arthritis, pasteurella pneumonia, erysipelas, acute swine dysentery in swine.

Pharmacology

Tylosin is thought to have the same mechanism of action as erythromycin (binds to 50S ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis) and exhibits a similar spectrum of activity. It is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. For more specific information on organisms that tylosin is usually active against, refer to the erythromycin monography just prior to this one. Cross resistance with erythromycin occurs.
