Mhyosphere PCV ID Emulsion for Injection for Pigs — SPC Details

Source: VMD Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC). Last updated 26 Mar 2026.

For the active immunisation of pigs:
-
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Also, to reduce the incidence of these lesions (as
observed in field studies).
-
viraemic period associated with diseases caused by Porcine circovirus type 2
(PCV2). Efficacy against PCV2 genotypes a, b and d has been demonstrated in
field studies.
-
hyopneumoniae
field studies).
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae:
Onset of immunity: 3 weeks after vaccination.
Duration of immunity: 23 weeks after vaccination.

Revised: July 2023
AN: 03469/2022
Porcine circovirus type 2:
Onset of immunity: 2 weeks after vaccination.
Duration of immunity: 22 weeks after vaccination.
In addition, a reduction in nasal and faecal shedding and the duration of nasal
excretion of PCV2 was demonstrated in animals challenged at 4 weeks and at 22
weeks after vaccination.
For intradermal use.
Before use allow the vaccine to reach room temperature.
Shake well before use.
Administer one dose of 0.2 ml to pigs from 3 weeks of age onwards by intradermal
administration at the sides of the neck using the HIPRADERMIC device.
Safety and efficacy of MHYOSPHERE PCV ID have been demonstrated using the
device HIPRADERMIC.
Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance, to the adjuvant or to any
of the excipients.
Mild transient local reactions consisting of non-painful skin inflammations, of less
than or equal to 3 cm in diameter are very common. Moderate inflammation (between
3-5 cm) at the inoculation site is commonly observed from 4 hours post-vaccination to
day three.

Revised: July 2023
AN: 03469/2022
These local reactions can be observed during the first week after vaccination and last
for 1 to 5 days. One or two weeks later, these local reactions can reappear, lasting
for 1 to 7 days. Local reactions disappear completely within approximately 3 weeks
after vaccination without treatment.
A slight transient increase in body temperature (mean 0.6 ºC, in individual pigs less
than 2 ºC) occurred commonly in field studies. This slight increase subsided
spontaneously within 48 hours without treatment.
A slight depression, which subsides in less than 24 hours without treatment is very
commonly observed.
Anaphylactic-type reactions (e.g. vomiting, circulatory disorders, dyspnoea) which
might be life-threatening, may occur very rarely in some sensitive animals based on
post-marketing safety experience. Under these circumstances, appropriate
symptomatic treatment should be administered.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reactions
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports).
Vaccinate healthy animals only.
