Each 1000 gm contains:
Tiamulin Hydrogen Fumarate 800 gm
Tiamulin is a bacteriostatic semi-synthetic antibiotic belonging to the pleuromutilin group of antibiotics and acts at the ribosomal level to inhibit bacterial protein synthesis. Tiamulin has shown a in-vitro activity against a wide range of bacteria such as Brachyspira hyodysenteriae, Brachyspira pilosicoli, Lawsonia intracellularis and Mycoplasma spp.Tiamulin is bacteriostatic at therapeutic concentrations and has been shown to act at the 70S ribosome level and the primary binding site is on the 50S subunit and possibly a secondary site where the 50S and 30S subunits join. It appears to inhibit microbial protein production by producing biochemical inactive initiation complexes, which prevent elongation of the polypeptide chain.
Mechanisms responsible for resistance development in Brachyspira spp to the pleuromutilin class of antibiotics are considered to be based on mutations at the ribosomal target site. Clinically relevant resistance to tiamulin requires combinations of mutations around the tiamulin binding site.
Resistance to tiamulin may be associated with decreased susceptibility to other pleuromutilins.

In case of reduced feed intake, the inclusion levels in feed may need to be increased to achieve target dosage. Acute cases and severely diseased animals with reduced feed intake should be treated with a product of suitable formulation such as an injectable or water solution.
Animals should not receive products containing ionophores (monensin, narasin or salinomycin) during or for at least seven days before or after treatment with tiamulin. Severe growth depression or death may result.
On rare occasions erythema or mild oedema of the skin may occur in pigs following the use of tiamulin.
