Use of the product should be in accordance with official, national and regional
antimicrobial policies.
Special precautions for use in animals
For use in pig feeds only.
To ensure thorough dispersion of the product it should first be mixed with a
small quantity of feed ingredients before incorporation into the final mix.
Use of the product should be based on identification and susceptibility testing of
the target pathogen(s). If this is not possible, therapy should be based on
epidemiological information and knowledge of susceptibility of the target
pathogens at farm level, or at local/regional level.
An antibiotic with a lower risk of antimicrobial resistance selection (lower AMEG
category) should be used for first line treatment where susceptibility testing
suggests the likely efficacy of this approach.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary
medicinal product to animals
Tylosin may induce irritation. Macrolides, such as tylosin, may also cause
hypersensitivity (allergy) following injection, inhalation, ingestion or contact with
skin or eye. Hypersensitivity to tylosin may lead to cross reactions to other
macrolides and vice versa. Allergic reactions to these substances may
occasionally be serious and therefore direct contact should be avoided.
To avoid exposure during preparation of the medicated feed, wear overalls,
safety glasses, impervious gloves and wear either a disposable half mask
respirator conforming to European Standard EN149 or a non-disposable
respirator to European Standard EN140 with a filter to EN143. Wash hands
after use.
In the event of accidental skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. In
case of accidental eye contact, flush the eyes with plenty of clean, running
water.
Do not handle the product if you are allergic to ingredients in the product.
If you develop symptoms following exposure, such as skin rash, you should
seek medical advice and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
Swelling of the face, lips and eyes or difficulty in breathing are more serious
symptoms and require urgent medical attention.
Special precautions for the protection of the environment
