Indication |
Dosage and treatment course |
|---|---|
|
Dysentery caused by B.hyodysenteriae, including the cases complicated with Bacteroides spp. or Fusobacterium spp. |
8 mg of tiamulin base / 1 kg of animal body weight, which corresponds to 1 ml/12.5 kg of animal body weight, for 1 - 2 days. |
|
Enzootic pneumonia caused by M.hyopneumoniae, including the cases complicated with Pasteurella multocida or Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, and infectious arthritis caused by M.hyosynoviae |
12.3 mg of tiamulin base / 1 kg of animal body weight, which corresponds to 1.5 ml/12.5 kg of animal body weight, for 3 days. |
|
Pleuropneumonia caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae |
12.3 mg of tiamulin base / 1 kg of animal body weight, which corresponds to 1.5 ml/12.5 kg of animal body weight, for 2 - 3 days. |
As a pain reaction may occur, when the drug is administered in a volume exceeding 5 ml in adult pigs and 2.5 ml in piglets, injections shall be administered in several injection sites.
Contraindications and special instructions:
Avoid using Tialong simultaneously with polyester ionophores, incl. monensin, narasin, and salinomycin, 7 days before and 7 days after the administration as side effects and complications may occur in animals, thus causing their significantly slower growth or death.
